1. Overview
Clover refers to the process of setting up, activating, and delivering Clover POS devices for merchants. This SOP outlines the complete deployment workflow, including verification, account setup, device configuration, testing, and follow-up activities used to take a deployment request from an open ticket to closure.
2. Ticket Status: TO-DO
Stage | Trigger / Entry Condition | Actions Required |
Open → In Progress | Work begins on the ticket | Change status immediately; ticket must be picked up within 24 hours |
In Progress → Waiting for Response | ISO/merchant confirmation is required before proceeding | Make 3 call attempts; if no response, send email and document notes on the ticket |
In Progress/Waiting for Response → Ready to Deploy | Required information/confirmation received (or not needed at all) | Create Clover ID and change the status In Progress → Ready to Deploy |
Ready to Deploy → Waiting on Merchant | Equipment and invoice have been created | Add shipment fee and equipment charges; complete the shipment process |
Waiting on Merchant → Closed | Merchant must process a transaction over $30 and complete the batch. | Close the ticket. If not processed, keep the ticket open — do not close until the $30 threshold and ISO confirmation are both met |
