Canadian merchants

The Clover platform provides the following features to support merchants and developers for Canadian market.

SDK minimum version requirements

Integrations for Canada must use SDK version 2.0 or higher.

Merchant configurations for Canada

Merchants can process payments in either US dollars (USD) or Canadian dollars (CAD).

Language support

Clover devices support both English and French payment flow. The Payment.TransactionInfo object returned for each payment includes the language and locale information provided by the customer card. If your integration prints custom receipts, you should use this information to match the card and receipt language.

🚧

IMPORTANT

The transaction gateway supports a wide range of payment functions but a specific merchant may be limited to a subset of functions.

ICloverConnector Method Support

The SDK's ICloverConnector methods behave differently in Canada in part because Clover devices process Interac debit cards. To conform with the network's rules for PIN entry, Interac transactions are limited by the SDK to specific payment actions.

Sales

Only credit cards and co-branded Interac cards can be entered manually when processing a transaction using the sale() method.

Auths and pre-auths

The auth() and preAuth() transaction methods and tip adjustments using tipAdjustAuth() are not supported for Canadian merchants.

Payment refunds and voids

If an Interac transaction needs to be refunded (using refundPayment()), the card must be inserted into the Clover device. Voiding of refunds is not supported.

Vaulted cards

Interac cards cannot be stored for future transactions using the vaultCard() method.

Offline payments

Canadian merchants cannot use their Clover devices to process any payments in offline mode.

Manual closeouts

The closeout() method is not supported. All merchants are automatically closed out.

Currency restrictions

Only merchants configured to process transactions in CAD can accept Interac cards.
