Automated Clover New Merchant Onboarding Checklist

When a new merchant joins Clover, WebRun works through the onboarding checklist in the Clover dashboard, logs each completed configuration step to a Google Sheet, and drafts a welcome summary note for the account manager to review and send to the merchant.

In short

How do I automatically run a Clover new merchant onboarding checklist?

WebRun opens Clover when a new merchant is added, works through the standard onboarding checklist covering business info, devices, taxes, tenders, inventory, and employee setup, and logs each step's status to a Google Sheet. Incomplete items are flagged, and a draft welcome note is queued for the account manager to review before sending.

  • Every new merchant setup follows a consistent, logged checklist
  • Gaps in configuration flagged before the merchant goes live
  • Account manager reviews and sends the welcome, so no message goes out unreviewed

Built for Clover resellers · ISOs and merchant service providers · Clover account managers · POS implementation teams

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will the welcome message be sent to the merchant automatically?

No. WebRun drafts the welcome summary in the Google Sheet and marks it for account manager review. The account manager reviews the draft and sends it themselves, so nothing goes to the merchant without human sign-off.

What if some onboarding steps cannot be completed at first run?

Incomplete items are flagged in red in the Google Sheet so the account manager knows exactly what still needs attention. The checklist can be re-run once the merchant provides missing information.

Can I customise the onboarding checklist for different merchant types?

Yes. The checklist steps are configured during setup, so restaurant merchants can have different required fields than retail merchants, matching the specific Clover configuration each business needs.
