Frequently asked questions

Sign up

I am a first-time user. What should I do?

Can I use my email address on the legacy developer platform to sign up for the Clover global developer platform?

No, you cannot sign up for the Clover global developer platform using a sandbox or production developer email address that is already in use on the legacy developer platform. If you try to use the same email, you will either see an alert or the sign-up will fail. To create a new account, see Create a global developer account.

Can I use my Clover merchant account email to sign up for the global developer platform?

No, you cannot use an email address that is already associated with a Clover merchant account, whether in sandbox or production, to sign up for the Clover global developer platform. Attempting to register with an existing merchant email will result in a User already exists error or a failed sign-up process. To create a new account, see Create a global developer account.

Log in

What URL (link) do I use to log in to my Clover developer account?

Use this URL to access your Clover global developer account: <https://www.clover.com/global-developer-home>.

Why do I see the Setup MFA pop-up when I try to log in for the first time?

Clover requires you to set up multi-factor authentication (MFA), which adds an extra layer of protection and significantly decreases the risk of unauthorized access and system breaches. Before you proceed to set up MFA for your account, download an authenticator app on your phone to complete this step. For more information, see Set up multi-factor authentication (MFA).

Once MFA is set up, enter your developer account credentials and the 6-digit OTP to access the Global Developer Dashboard.

Are there different URLs for the sandbox and production environments?

The https://www.clover.com/global-developer-home URL gives you access to the sandbox and production environments. After you log in, you get access to the sandbox environment by default. Turn off the Sandbox toggle icon to access the production environment.

In which region is Clover global developer experience available?

This developer experience is currently available in the North American region, but we plan to expand it to other regions.

I have a legacy developer account for the sandbox and North America production environments. Which URL do I use to access my Clover developer account?

All the existing sandbox and production links are functional. You can continue using your account as usual. No action is required until we migrate your account to the new global developer platform>.

However, we recommend you sign up and explore the newly launched Clover global developer platform.

Create apps

How do I start creating apps?

Use the default sandbox environment to create and test your app in the sandbox first.
Note: Apps can only be published in the production environment. When you are ready to get your production developer account and associated apps approved, turn off the Sandbox toggle icon to access the production environment.
