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 developer platform account, note the following when signing up on the global developer platform:

  • You cannot use the same email address you used to create your sandbox or production accounts on the legacy developer platform.
  • You cannot invite members to your global developer platform account with email addresses that were previously associated with a sandbox or production developer account.
