Create global developer account

The Clover platform provides tools for developers to design, configure, test, and manage app integrations for Clover merchants. Clover requires you to create a developer account and get your account settings approved to initiate the integration approval process.

Once the account settings are approved, you can submit integrations for approval and then manage and track app performance on the Global Developer Dashboard. The Clover team reviews and approves each developer account you create in a production environment.

❗️

Alert

You cannot sign up using an email address that is already linked to a Clover developer or merchant account (sandbox or production). This will result in a User already exists error. Use an email address that is not associated with any existing Clover account.

Create a developer account

From here, you can:

1. Complete and submit your developer account settings for approval. You must submit your account settings for approval before publishing apps.
2. Update settings for the first test merchant or create additional test merchants.
3. Create an app.

Add or switch regions to create an app

In Step 3—Finish setting up your account, you can select a region from the Choose where your integrations will be available drop-down list. This is the default region to manage your test merchant accounts and create apps.

When you log in to the Global Developer Dashboard, you are in the sandbox environment for your default region. You can also add and then switch between other regions after you have created your developer account.

To add a new region to your developer account:

1. Log in to the Global Developer Dashboard. The sandbox environment for your default region appears.

2. From the top menu, click the Region icon. A submenu displays an Add region option; for example, if your default selected region is North America, you can now add the Latin America or Asia Pacific region to create and test apps and integrations.

3. In the Region submenu, click Add region.

   

   The Add Region pop-up displays the region you can add to your account, for example, Latin America.

4. Select the region checkbox and then Add region.

   

   The region displays as an option in the Region submenu.

5. To switch between regions, click the Region icon and then select a region.

The Global Developer Dashboard switches to the sandbox environment for the selected region.
