Submit global developer account for approval

North America—US and Canada

Global developer platform

Clover must verify and approve your global developer account in the production environment before starting the process to approve your app. Your app is linked to your approved production developer account.

Before you begin

Create a global 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

The developer must have an owner role to view and edit account settings in the Developer Settings—Developer Info section. Only an owner can accept the Clover Developer Agreement. For more information on developer roles and permissions, see Manage global developer account.

Steps

Log in to the Global Developer Dashboard with your owner account details.
Turn off the Sandbox toggle icon to access the production environment. The gray toggle icon indicates that you are in the production environment. If you do not have a verified developer account, a Verify your Developer Account banner displays on the Production environment.

Do one of the following:

On the Verify your Developer Account banner, click Get Verified.
From the top-right menu, click the Account icon > Developer Settings.

The Developer Settings page—Developer Info tab appears.

Click the edit icon in each of the sections, enter developer information, and click Save.

In the Edit Account Details section, enter or edit developer details in the following fields:

Note the following: - International developers—If the developer’s address is outside the intended market, an unexpired passport is required. See the FAQs on developer account approval. Developers in Canada and the United Kingdom (UK) can provide a current driver’s license instead of a passport. - OFAC check—Clover must run an Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) check on every developer as part of the approval process. After your account is approved, Clover repeats the OFAC check monthly.

Contact Info

In the Contact Info section, enter or edit the developer's additional contact information for specific purposes in the following fields:

Field	Description
Emergency contact	Developer’s emergency contact email address that is accessible to the developer at all times. Clover can use this email address to communicate urgent information about the approval request, such as if the submitted app generates frequent errors.
Tech Contact	Read-only. Displays the email address used when creating the developer account. Clover can use this email address to communicate technical issues and updates on Clover SDKs, APIs, features, and the platform.

Click the Developer Agreement link to review the Clover App Market Developer Terms.
Click Verify Your Account. You agree to the Clover App Market Developer Terms by submitting your details.

Upload additional information securely

If the Clover App Market business team needs to contact you for more information, they also share a secure Clover Box folder URL (link) with you. Upload all required documentation to the specified Clover Box folder. Do not share any required identity documentation by email.

After your account is approved, the status of your developer account on the Developer Settings page is updated to Account Verified. You receive an email confirming the developer account approval.

Update approved account information

Update name and email address

If you need to change approved account information, such as the developer's name or email address, send an email to Clover Developer Relations (Dev Rel) at [email protected] with the following information:

Developer account name and identifier. The Developer ID displays in the Developer Settings > Developer Info tab.
Request type and reason for the request, for example, developer name or email address change.

Transfer account ownership

If you need to transfer the ownership of a business account to another user, see Transfer developer account ownership. For example, if an approved developer leaves the company, the owner or admin must transfer the developer account ownership to another person to assume responsibility for the account.
