The Ecommerce integration types from Clover are:

Clover API-only integration

Use Clover REST APIs for custom integrations that need complete control over the payment flow or to integrate with complex systems. This API-only integration connects a merchant's ecommerce site or app to Clover services like payment processing and inventory management. It requires higher PCI compliance and PCI DSS certification. The payment flow needs encryption and tokenization of card data using PAKMS and token APIs, along with the Ecommerce API. This approach offers flexibility, scalability, and advanced features but requires more development effort.

Clover hosted checkout (HCO)

Integrate a Clover-hosted checkout page into a merchant website for a secure, PCI-compliant payment experience. You can customize the page to match the merchant's brand. This integration includes reCAPTCHA to prevent fraud in card-not-present transactions.

Clover iframe (inline frame) and API integration

Embed a customizable Clover-hosted payment form into a merchant website using an iframe. This secure integration uses Clover iframe for card data entry and returns a tokenized card as source for Clover payments. It reduces PCI compliance burden and allows merchants to quickly set up an online store for card-not-present payments.

Clover Ecommerce plugins
