You’ve been approved as a Clover merchant. Now what? Here are three things you need to do before you can start taking payments with Clover.
Step 1: Activate your account
-
Log in to Clover.com to ensure that your account is active. If you’re not sure how to log in, you can learn how to access your account. Once you’re in, start completing setup tasks such as confirming your business information and adding the items or services you offer.
-

-
No Clover devices? As soon as your account is active, you can start taking payments anywhere you have an internet connection. Log in to the Help Center to find out how to use the Clover Go app and Virtual Terminal.
Step 2: Set up your space
-
Your internet connection has to be stable and strong and meet our security requirements. We recommend using Ethernet for countertop devices. Learn how to ensure a fast and reliable connection.
-
Make space on your counter if you have a Mini, Station Solo, or Station Duo. You may need an extension cord or power strip if the nearest outlet is more than 6 feet from the device. Don’t forget to account for accessories such as weight scales, printers, and cash drawers.
Step 3: Activate your device(s)
-
Each device comes with a Quick Start Guide that shows you how to connect the power cord and plug it in.
-
Press the power button until the Clover logo appears. Choose your language and review your internet connection status.
-
When prompted to enter an activation code, follow the instructions on the screen to retrieve it. Once you enter the code, Clover will install the latest apps for your device.
Once you’ve completed these steps, you’re all set to start taking payments.
