How to Connect Clover POS to WhatsApp with DMHub

Clover POS systems sit in hundreds of thousands of small businesses worldwide — restaurants, retail stores, salons, and service businesses. The hardware is solid and the payment processing works well. But Clover's built-in customer engagement tools are basic at best.

DMHub fills that gap by connecting Clover transaction data to WhatsApp. Every swipe, tap, or chip insert can trigger a personalized message that drives repeat visits.

What the Integration Does

When Clover and DMHub are connected:

• Every transaction creates or updates a customer profile in DMHub
• Purchase history powers personalized WhatsApp campaigns
• Loyalty points are tracked automatically and communicated via WhatsApp
• New customers receive a welcome sequence
• VIP customers get exclusive offers based on spending thresholds

Step-by-Step Setup

Step 1: Connect Your Clover Device

1. Go to Settings > Integrations > Clover in DMHub
2. Enter your Clover Merchant ID
3. Generate an API token in Clover's developer settings
4. Paste the token and click Connect
5. Select which data to sync: orders, customers, inventory, employees

Step 2: Enable Customer Capture

Clover captures customer phone numbers at checkout in several ways:

• Clover Rewards app: Customers enter their phone number to earn points
• Receipt delivery: "Send receipt via WhatsApp" option at the terminal
• Staff prompt: Train staff to ask "Would you like updates on WhatsApp?"

DMHub syncs these phone numbers and creates WhatsApp contacts automatically.

Step 3: Build Your Automation Flows

New Customer Welcome (first purchase): ``` Welcome to {{business_name}}, {{name}}!

Thanks for your first visit. Here's what to expect from us on WhatsApp:

• Order updates and receipts
• Exclusive offers (we won't spam, promise)
• Easy support — just message us anytime

Reply STOP at any time to opt out. ```

Purchase Thank-You (every transaction): ``` Thanks, {{name}}! Your receipt from {{business_name}}: {{items}} — {{total}}

Loyalty points earned: {{points}} Total balance: {{balance}} {{points_to_next_reward}} points until your next reward! ```

VIP Detection ($500+ total spend): ``` {{name}}, you've been a loyal customer and we want you to know we appreciate it.

As a VIP, you now get:

• 10% off every purchase
• Early access to new products
• Priority support

Thank you for choosing us! ```
