Clover Developer Kits (Dev Kits) are Clover devices with special permissions. You can use Dev Kits to:

Simulate transactions in a sandbox environment. See Clover developer environments. The sandbox environment allows you to test apps in preparation for later deployment on the production server.
Experience transactions end-to-end from both the merchant and customer perspectives.
Run published apps and allow non-root connections with Android Debug Bridge (ADB). See Use Android Debug Bridge over USB or Wi-Fi.

Before you begin

Note the features and best practices to work with Dev Kits

Dev Kits are only for use in the sandbox environment.
- You cannot re-provision your Dev Kit between the sandbox and production environments.
- You cannot migrate your developer and merchant accounts between the sandbox and production environments.
Be careful when using EMV credit cards. Repeatedly inserting an active EMV credit card into an EMV-enabled development device that is pointed to a blackhole payment gateway may cause the credit card to be disabled. This is because of EMV protection against repeated inserts that do not result in actual payments.
