The Clover platform provides tools for you to design and build apps for Clover merchants. In the production environment you can:

• Create developer accounts for specific regions—North America, Europe, or Latin America.
• Submit your developer account for approval.
• Build, test, and launch an app for real-time use.

For a step-by-step guide, see the app launch checklist—In the production environment.

Step 1: Get approval for your production developer account

While building and testing your app in the sandbox environment, you can:

• Create a separate production developer account for each country or region in which you want to create and launch apps.
• Submit your developer account for approval and work with the Clover App Market team to get your developer account approved.

Step 2: Create, test, and publish approved apps

Once your developer account is approved, use the production Developer Dashboard for your region.
You can:

• Manage your developer account and settings.
• Create, test, and submit apps for approval.
• Manage the entire lifecycle of your apps—from draft to test and launch on the Clover App Market.
• Create a test merchant.
• Create a release group, if needed, to test your app on a small group of merchants.
• Work through the approval process to publish your app on the Clover App Market.
• Communicate with Clover App Market team and track the app approval progress.
• Configure pricing tiers.
• Gain insights into your app's performance by monitoring installs and revenue.
• Collect and use app ratings and reviews from merchants.
