Troubleshooting

If your online payments transactions are declining this may be because your customer is not registered with their card provider for Strong Customer Authentication (SCA).

The UK cards schemes, as a part of the Strong Customer Authentication, have increased the security requirements for cardholder verification for online transactions. This includes the implementation of an extra level of authentication required to complete an online transaction, known as ‘3D Secure’.

3D Secure has recently been upgraded from 3DS v1 to 3DS v2. This means customers using a website to purchase goods and services will need to be registered with their card issuer (the bank that issued their credit or debit card) to be able to complete the extra level of authentication required for SCA.

If a customer’s online transactions are declining, we recommend that the cardholder contact their issuer (the company that provided their debt or credit card) to ensure that their SCA registration is complete, so that the cardholder can process online transactions successfully in the future.

Once the cardholder has registered with their issuer any online transactions they attempt should be processed as normal.

Find out more about 3DS and SCA here: Making your transactions secure with 3DS2.

If your card machine appears unresponsive, most of the time this can be resolved by following steps 1 and 2 below.

1. First make sure your card machine is not resting in its charging cradle, then hold down the power button for 60 seconds, or until the Clover logo appears

If the Clover logo does not appear after following the above steps, follow the steps below

1. Put the card machine back in its charging cradle and hold down the power button for another 60 seconds, or until the Clover logo appears. If the Clover logo now appears, release the power button and wait for your card machine to boot up as usual
2. If the logo it still not appearing, but you can see a battery icon appear instead, leave your card machine in the charging cradle for between 10 and 30 seconds then repeat step 3 again

In the unlikely event that you didn’t see anything appear on screen after following the steps above, try to locate a USB charger (type C; which is the type that is used for most current Android phones) continue with the steps below. If you don’t have access to a USB type C charger, or following the below doesn’t work, please give us a call and we’ll help you with what to do next.

1. Remove your card machine from the charging cradle and plug your USB type C charger into the charging point at the back of your card machine
2. Press and hold the power button down for 60 seconds. If the Clover logo appears, release the power button and wait for your card machine to boot up
3. If the logo does not appear, hold the power button down for a total of two minutes. When the logo appears, release the power button and wait for your card machine to boot up
