F&B App : Clover Device Setup Guides
Article Contents: This article walks you through setting up a Clover Go payment device to take payments in the F&B app.
You’ll need access to the iPad’s Bluetooth settings to pair the device.
Step-by-Step:
Step 1: Connect the charging cable to the Clover Go and plug it into a power outlet. Charge the device until the light indicator shows a full charge (usually 2–3 hours). When fully charged, the light should be solid.
Step 2: Turn on the Clover Go by pressing and holding the power button until the device vibrates and the light turns on. The LED indicator shows the device’s status.
Step 3: On the iPad, open Settings, tap Bluetooth, and switch Bluetooth to On. Keep the Bluetooth screen open so the iPad can discover the device.
Step 4: In the F&B app, open any tab, tap Pay, then select Card External. When prompted to pair, find the 5- or 6-digit code printed on the back of the Clover Go and enter it in the F&B app to complete pairing. Once paired, the device should be recognized automatically for future transactions.

Run a quick test payment to confirm everything is working. Create a test tab, add a low-cost item, tap Pay, and select Card External. The Clover Go should activate and prompt you to tap, insert, or swipe (based on the device/payment type).
Purchasing Clover Go Devices
