Using Clover Flex as a payment terminal

Hello,


We have an opportunity of building a new application. Since it is so hard to get applications approved by Clover anymore, we are considering building an Android tablet based application and use Clover Flex strictly as a payment terminal. In this scenario, there will be no Clover based application. However, that application will use Clover Flex as a payment terminal, just like any other pinpad terminal (like ingenico or pax).


Can somebody point me to any samples for that kind of application. There several samples for payment connector but I am not sure if that requires a Clover approved application (that is what we are trying to avoid).


Thanks in advance.

Payment Connector is for on Clover device apps.

Just because the app won't be running on a Clover device does not mean you do not need a Clover approved application. Any integration will require a Clover approved application. In this case it seems like you are looking for a semi-integrated solution.

Once the payment information is entered, the Clover Flex will communicate with the payment processor to authorize the transaction. If approved, the customer will receive a receipt, either through email, text message, or printed if you have a printer connected to your Flex.
