Added information on Argentina's multicurrency feature
Clover multicurrency scheme for Latin America: Argentina facilitates transactions in Argentine Pesos (ARS) or US Dollars (USD). This flexibility allows merchants and customers to choose their preferred currency for payments.
Merchants can select the currency for each sale. If a customer pays in USD, the transaction is processed in that currency, and the amount is shown on the receipt and in sales reports. This helps merchants track sales and cash flow in both currencies effectively. For multicurrency payment flow samples, see Regional payment flows: Argentina.
Updated steps to connect the Clover Payments Plugin on Shopify Online Shops
In the topic—2. Connect the Clover Payments plugin with a merchant—removed the steps to connect with the Clover Payments for Shopify plugin on the Clover App Market due to a change in the workflow. Now, merchants with Shopify Online Shops only need to:
- Confirm the waiver of the convenience fee if not charging the convenience fee.
- Ensure they have selected the same card networks on Shopify as during their onboarding.
These steps will ensure a seamless payment transaction process.

- iOS—Partial OAuth implementation, where your app handles the OAuth login flow while the SDK manages the refresh tokens.
- iOS—No OAuth implementation, where your code handles the entire OAuth flow externally, providing and updating tokens for the SDK as needed.
Added Closeout broadcast for custom closeout processes
You can now intercept closeout batch result notifications for merchants configured with custom closeouts. Use a specific intent filter to declare a Notification Receiver in your AndroidManifest.xml. This setup allows you to handle both successful and failed closeouts by reacting to the notification payload in the onReceive method. For more information, see Set up broadcasts and intents.
