Before you begin

To integrate the Clover Payments plugin with a Clover merchant's Shopify Online Shop, note the following:

• Clover merchants—The free Clover Payments plugin is available for Clover merchants. On the Clover Merchant Dashboard, a merchant:
  • Can have multiple merchantIds but can associate only one merchantId with one or more Shopify Online Shops.
  • Can only create a Shopify Online Shop for a specific country and its currency.
    The merchant's Clover account agreement determines the charges for transactions. Shopify does not support surcharging; hence, only Clover merchants who do not support surcharging can connect with a Shopify Online Shop.
• Card networks—Merchants with Shopify Online Shops must select the same card networks on Shopify to ensure a seamless payment transaction process. In case of any changes, Clover communicates the card network settings and updates to Shopify so they can apply the same settings.
• Best practices—Review the best practices and recommendations and for additional information, see the introductory topic: Clover Payments plugin for Shopify Online Shop.
