Connecting Clover

Maven connects to Clover via the Ecommerce API using your merchant’s Ecommerce API tokens. Charges settle into your Clover merchant account alongside your in-store activity.

Getting Your Credentials

  1. Log into your Clover dashboard (sandbox: sandbox.dev.clover.com).
  2. Go to Account & Setup → Ecommerce API Tokens.
  3. Generate a token pair:
    • Public key (PAKMS) — used to tokenize card data
    • Private token — used to create charges and customers

Connecting in Maven

In the Maven Dashboard, open your app → Payments tab → Clover card:
  • Environment: Sandbox or Production
  • Public Key (PAKMS): your ecommerce public key
  • Private Token: your ecommerce private token
You can also click Copy link to send the restaurant/merchant a single-use hosted form to enter their own tokens — useful when you run many locations.

Processor Response Fields

In tokenize mode, Maven stores the card on a Clover customer; charge it later by passing the customer ID as the source on /v1/charges.
Clover requires PCI DSS compliance for server-side card tokenization — Maven’s PCI program covers the capture and tokenization path, so your integration stays out of CHD scope.
