Keeping your Clover devices and apps updated is essential for security, bug fixes, and new features. This guide explains how updates work and how to trigger them manually when needed.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Clover OS updates are pushed automatically by Fiserv/Clover during off-peak hours. Keep the device powered on and connected to Wi-Fi overnight to receive updates.
- To check for app updates manually: open the Clover App Market from the home screen. Tap the menu icon and select 'My Apps.' Apps with pending updates show an 'Update' button.
- Tap 'Update' next to each app, or 'Update All' if available. Do not power off the device during an update.
- To check the current Clover OS version: go to Settings > About > Software Information.
- If a device has not updated in an extended period, try forcing a sync: Settings > Apps > Clover App Market > Clear Cache, then relaunch the App Market.
- After updates, restart the device to ensure all changes are fully applied.
📌 Important Note: Schedule device updates during overnight hours to avoid disrupting business. Some updates require a device reboot, which temporarily takes the terminal offline for 2–5 minutes.
