Clover Flex Contactless Payments Declined? Fix Tap Issues

Watching a customer's tap payment get declined is awkward for everyone. It slows down your line and creates confusion. Let's identify why contactless is being rejected.

Quick Fixes to Try Right Now

1

Verify NFC is Enabled

Go to Settings > Payments > NFC and confirm contactless payments are turned on.

2

Check for Proper Tap Technique

Have the customer hold their card or phone within 1-2 inches of the reader for 2 full seconds.

3

Look for Error Codes

Note any specific error codes or messages. These help identify whether it's a device or card issue.

4

Test with Your Own Card

Try a contactless payment with your own card or phone to determine if the issue is universal or card-specific.

5

Check Transaction Limits

Some contactless payments have lower limits than chip. The customer may need to use chip for larger amounts.
