You can set up pricing tiers for your apps on the Developer Dashboard. You can then use the REST API endpoint or the Android AppsConnector method to send metered events to Clover. See Handle app billing.

Before you begin

• Create your production developer account.
• Add or update bank account information to set up your billing details.
• Complete your app settings.
• Understand each pricing tier to set up the pricing for your app. See Monetize your apps.

Set up pricing tiers for an app

You can set up:

1. Free trial period (14–90 days) for your app approved for publishing on the Clover App Market.
2. Subscription pricing and tiers for each country. Your app must have at least one subscription country.
3. Metered event pricing for each country. Follow the best practices so that you do not have to change the metered event pricing on your approved app:
   1. Plan your pricing strategy.
   2. If you need to change the metered event pricing, think through your use case and justification for the change.
   3. Send a request to [email protected] with a business justification of why you want to change the metered event pricing.
   4. Work with the Clover App Market team to review the request and update the prices.
