Publishing Clover App

Clover requires a Production level account and a Production OAuth app for use in real-time use. This requires an approval from the Clover team for the account and app.

• From the left navigation menu, click Developer Settings > Info. The Developer Info page appears.

• Click the edit icon in each section, enter developer information, and click Save.

• Click the Developer Agreement link to review the Clover App Market Developer Terms.

• Click Verify Your Account. You agree to the Clover App Market Developer Terms by submitting your details.
