How it Works

As part of the First Data and Fiserv family, Clover delivers a robust business management platform coupled with an extensive offering of merchant services to empower your small business for growth.

Clover devices use a powerful Fiserv’s app for payment processing, known as “SITEF Sales app”, this app is supported with Fiserv’s acquiring services worldwide recognized.

Additionally, Clover’s apps are the start of the full solution to unite both worlds: Fiserv and Clover.

If you are an ISV in Brazil or Mexico, you need to use the “SITEF sales app” to take advantage of Fiserv’s acquiring services together with the Clover’s app to create your own solution.

To have your own application as ISV you will need to follow this general process:

1. Create a global developer account.
2. Create test merchants.
3. Create an app
   1. Be sure to use “Sitef sales app” for credit/debit cards authorizations.
   2. Use any other Clover’s app you want.
4. Install your app to a test merchant.
5. Get your app approved.

SITEF Sales App SDK

The SiTef Sales App is an application developed by Fiserv for the Android platform on Clover terminals that allows integration with automations that wish to carry out transactions (TEF) through Fiserv SiTef with integration into the platform and benefits of the Clover ecosystem and Fiserv ecosystem.Please refer to: SITEF Sales app documentation SDK for further detail

Clover’s Devices SDKs

Clover devices run a custom version of the Android operating system. Apps that run on Clover devices must be written to run on the Android operating system (OS). Clover provides support for multiple devices in multiple regions.

Following list are the standard Clover's apps you can use as default for your solution in each LATAM region.

Review the API or SDK for each application so you know how to integrate it with your own application. That’s the way to create a new personal app for your business.

Get started with the Global developer platform.

As a developer, you can make a difference and transform the way merchants run their business by saving time through intuitive apps. Merchants are looking for solutions to make their small to medium businesses more efficient and profitable. Our open platform lets you seamlessly connect your apps and reach merchants in new ways.

The Clover open platform provides tools for you to design, configure, test, and manage app integrations for Clover merchants in the sandbox and production environments. In Latin America (LATAM). The Clover global developer platform offers a consolidated developer experience with access to the Global Developer Dashboard.

On the Global Developer Dashboard, you can access both the sandbox and developer environments with a single Clover global developer account. You get a seamless experience for developer account management and for developing and launching integrations. You can:

• Log in with a single global developer account and switch between the sandbox and production environments.
  • A new account in the global developer platform will automatically create an user for both: the sandbox environment and the prod environment.
• Invite other developers in your organization to join your account. Once they accept the invite, they are automatically added to both the sandbox and production environments.

Sandbox environment

Build and test your apps in the sandbox first. You need to:

1. Install your apps on test merchants accounts. When you sign up on the global developer platform to create a developer account, Clover creates a default test merchant account for both sandbox and production environments.
2. Create additional test merchant accounts with different settings to simulate the effects of regions, time zones, currencies, or permissions.
3. Test your apps that interact with the Clover payment functions. The sandbox environment is connected to a test payment gateway that checks the validity of test cards and provides realistic responses to payment requests. This lets you build apps that can handle all possible responses when completing a transaction.

Production environment

After you create and text your app in sandbox, you need to get it approved for launch. Use the production environment to:

1. Complete the developer account verification and approval process.
2. Re-create your app in the production environment.
3. Submit your app for approval after you test your app. The Clover team reviews and approves each developer account you create in the production environment. After your app is approved and published, merchants can download and install your app from the Clover App Market.
4. Monitor the status of your app approval and communicate with the Clover team from the production Developer Dashboard. For more information, see Understand the app approval process.
