Join the global developer experience

The global developer platform is available for developers across all regions. If you are developing new apps for Clover merchants in North America, Europe, Latin America, and Asia Pacific, get started by creating a new global developer account. With just one developer account, you can access both sandbox and production environments through the Global Developer Dashboard.

The developer platform that gives access to the Developer Dashboard is now a legacy platform. If you have previously approved apps on this platform, you can continue to use the Developer Dashboard to manage the apps. The developer platform requires two separate developer accounts to access the sandbox and production environments.

Sign up for the global developer experience

If you have an existing Clover developer or merchant account, keep the following in mind when signing up for the Global Developer Dashboard:

You cannot create a new global developer account with an email address that is already associated with a Clover developer or merchant account, whether in sandbox or production. Attempting to register with an existing email address results in a User already exists error.
You cannot invite team members using email addresses previously linked to any sandbox or production developer or merchant accounts.

To avoid sign-up issues, always use a different email address that is not already tied to any Clover account.
