Submit developer account for approval
Clover must verify and approve your production developer account before starting the process to approve your app. Your app is linked to your approved production developer account.
Before you begin
- Choose your region:
- North America—To build an integration for the North America region, create a global developer account.
- Europe and Latin America—To create apps for the Europe and Latin America (LATAM) regions, create a production developer account.
- Create and test your app on the sandbox. You can submit your developer account for approval on production even while building and testing your app on sandbox.
Prerequisite
Developer must have Owner role to view and edit account settings in Developer Settings—Account Info. Only an Owner can accept the Clover Developer Agreement. For more information on developer roles and permissions, see Manage developer account roles and permissions.
