The Clover Android Payments API offers Intent-based payment APIs for third-party applications running on Clover devices to process payments. When you build a point of sale (POS) system directly on a Clover device or have previously developed an app with a payment connector, the Clover Android Payments API runs as a streamlined payment option on various Clover device configurations.

Clover devices support the following operations:

• Processing final and tip-adjustable payments
• Processing pre-authorization payments
• Capturing pre-authorized payments
• Incrementing pre-authorized payments
• Processing a payment reversal
• Tokenizing cards (saving a card on file) (only on supported devices)
• Clover receipt management
• Manual closeout
• Transaction retrieval operations

Prerequisites

• Read overview of the Clover platform.
• Create a global developer account with a default test merchant account.
• Order a Clover Developer Kit (Dev Kit) and set it up.
• Use the required Android SDK versions.

Supported devices

• Flex Pocket and Flex 2
• Mini 3 and Mini 2
• Station Duo 2, Station 2018 (limited functionality), and Station Solo
