Canada merchants
Merchant configurations
The Clover platform provides features to support merchants and developers in Canada. Merchants can process payments in either US dollars (USD) or Canadian dollars (CAD). The transaction gateway supports a wide range of payment functions, but a specific merchant may be limited to a subset of functions.
SDK minimum version requirements
Integrations for Canada must use SDK version 2.0 or higher.
Language support
Clover devices support both English and French payment flow. The Payment.TransactionInfo object returned for each payment includes the language and locale information provided by the customer card. If your integration prints custom receipts, you should use this information to match the card and receipt language.
ICloverConnector method support
The SDK ICloverConnector methods function differently in Canada in part because Clover devices process Interac debit cards. To conform with the network's rules for personal identification number (PIN) entry, Interac transactions are limited by the SDK to specific payment actions.
| Method | Regional support and limitations |
|---|---|
| Sale | Only credit cards and co-branded Interac cards can be entered manually when processing a transaction using the sale() method. |
| Auth and pre-auth | Not supported: - Transaction methods: auth() and preAuth()- Tip adjustments: tipAdjustAuth() |
| Payment refund and void | Supported: To refund an Interac transaction using the refundPayment() method, the card must be inserted into the Clover device.Not supported: Voiding of refunds is not supported. |
| Vault card | Not supported. Interac cards cannot be stored for future transactions using the vaultCard() method. |
| Offline payment | Not supported. Canadian merchants cannot use their Clover devices to process any payments in offline mode. |
| Manual closeout | Not supported. Method: closeout(). All merchants are automatically closed out. |
| Currency restrictions | Only merchants configured to process transactions in Canadian dollars (CAD) can accept Interac cards. |
