Can I Transfer Clover to a New Owner? Device Transfer Guide

Selling your business or equipment? Transferring Clover ownership requires proper steps to avoid leaving the device locked to your account. Here's how to do it right.

Quick Fixes to Try Right Now

1

Contact Your Processor First

Call your payment processor to discuss the transfer. They may need to release the device from your merchant account.

2

Deregister the Device

The device must be properly deregistered from your Clover account. This is done through your processor or Clover support.

3

Factory Reset

After deregistration, perform a factory reset to clear your business data. Go to Settings > Device Options > Factory Reset.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I sell my Clover to someone else?
Yes, but only if you own the device outright (not leased) and properly deregister it first. Leased equipment cannot be sold.
What if I don't deregister?
The new owner won't be able to activate the device. It will remain locked to your account and be essentially useless to them.
How do I deregister a Clover device?
Contact your payment processor or Clover support. Provide your merchant ID, device serial number, and request a release.
Can a new owner use my apps and data?
No. After deregistration and factory reset, all your data and apps are removed. The new owner sets up fresh.
