Locate the merchant identifier (merchantId)

North America—United States and Canada

Clover assigns a 13-alphanumeric, universally unique identifier (UUID) known as the merchantId to every merchant business. It identifies a merchant’s business locations. If a merchant operates multiple locations, Clover assigns each store with a merchantId. The merchantId is different from the MID.

The merchantId displays:

  1. On the Clover device, Diagnostics > Additional Details screen, as the Clover ID.
  2. On the Merchant Dashboard > User Settings page below the merchant’s name.
  3. In the URL (link) of the Clover Merchant Dashboard. Example: http://www.clover.com/home/m/88TJMM2T52WQ2/items. In this example, 88TJMM2T52WQ2 is the merchantId.

You can search for and view merchantId in both the sandbox and production environments:

  1. Access the Settings page on the Merchant Dashboard.
  2. In the About Your Business section, click Merchants. The User Settings page displays the merchantId for the selected merchant. The merchantId is the 13-alphanumeric identifier below the merchant name in the Merchant column.
