Nextiva NEXT - Clover Setup Guide
Overview
Use this guide to install and connect the Clover integration from the NEXT Marketplace.
The Clover integration puts Xbert AI in full control of your point-of-sale order workflow. Without leaving NEXT, Xbert AI can pull up live order details, open new orders on demand, add line items mid-conversation, and lock orders the moment payment is confirmed.
Note: A Clover account is required to use this integration. The Clover integration is compatible with Xbert AI only.
