Understand merchant service plans
Service plans
Each Clover merchant subscribes to software as a service (SaaS) or a service plan based on their business needs. These service plans provide merchants with access to specific modules on your app.
Merchant service plans are tiered:
- Entry-level plans offer access to limited modules, such as Payments or Payments Plus, which cater to most merchants but support only basic features.
- Full-featured or higher-level plans provide access to premium modules and all the entry-level plan modules.
Merchant service plans and corresponding modules are available for your app based on specific regions. In the United States (US), your app is available to all merchant service plans except the Payments Plus plan.
TIP
A merchant can purchase or install your app if the app functions with any of the modules listed in the merchant's service plan. If you select only the minimum set of modules that your app requires to function properly, it allows more merchants to purchase and install your app.
Region-based merchant service plans
Clover merchants can subscribe to a merchant service plan based on their business requirements.
