How can we use the Clover device as a payment terminal for third-party POS softwares?

Hi,

We are trying to use the Clover device as a payment terminal for our POS software.

Ideally, we would like to accomplish the following:

  1. 1. The POS sends payment amount, transaction number, etc to the Clover device
  1. 2. The Clover device initiates the payment process upon receiving the data from the POS
  1. 3. The customer swipe/dip/tap the card and enter the signature if necessary
  1. 4. The payment is processed by Clover
  1. 5. The Clover device receives the payment processing result and send it back to the POS
  1. 6. The POS receives the result from the Clover device and take other necessary steps to complete the transaction

Our POS software is a Java based desktop application and we can do pretty much anything we want with it since we have developed it from ground-up.

We would appreciate some guidance on how to accomplish this task.

Hi Skodama, Have you got some luck in getting this going, since we are in exact same situation as yours. We have the Sandbox unit and enrolled in the developer program but seems none useful information is getting out there in terms of handshaking the Clover Mini. If you have some breakthrough please share and if we do we will do so.

Thanks @harmony63 Naveen@astpos
