Connecting Clover as Your Till
Connect Clover with a read-only token you make in your Clover dashboard, so each table's paid bill is saved as the party's spend.
Make the token in your Clover dashboard
- Sign in to your Clover dashboard as the owner or an admin.
- Open Settings, then View all settings, then API tokens.
- Choose to create a token, name it HostyFlow, and turn on Orders read and Payments read. Leave everything else off.
- Keep the token Clover shows. Your Merchant ID is in the dashboard's web address, after /m/.
Connect it in HostyFlow
- Open Connections and find Your till. Owners and managers can open it.
- Press Connect Clover. A panel opens on the right with the same steps.
- Enter the token and the Merchant ID, pick North America or Europe, then press Check and connect.
HostyFlow checks the token at once and says plainly when Clover refuses it or it can't read orders.
The token is read-only. HostyFlow reads your orders and can't change anything in Clover.
What happens during service
When you move a table to the check or clear it, HostyFlow reads that table's Clover order once.
The table is found by the order's title, or by a table written in its note, such as Table 12.
The table shows paying or paid. The paid bill before tip is saved as the party's spend, on the visit and the guest card.
Press Match tables to match a Clover table name to one of your tables once.
Press Disconnect to delete the saved token. You can also delete it in your Clover dashboard.
