You should keep it on overnight, shutting it on and off won’t hurt it but it may cause issues with batching, loading up and re-connecting once it’s turned back on:
- The Clover Flex will automatically restart overnight each night. Every morning it will require a user Passcode to be entered to wake it up and make the Clover Kiosk ready to accept orders.
- Your Passcode will usually be the same as your other Clover devices or if you haven’t changed the Passcode the default VMS passcode will be set to “1234”.
- If unresponsive:
-
- Check that your Clover Kiosk is connected to power
- Check that there is receipt paper loaded into the machine
- Check the connection to the Clover Flex, the device may have disconnected from Wi-Fi (refer to hardware guide for Wi-Fi optimization)
- Clover Kiosk may have unpaired from the Flex
- If you experience these issues on startup there is a section related to troubleshooting an unresponsive device (refer to page 16)
If this pops up on your Clover Kiosk it may be an issue with your device pairing or back-end:
To solve this:
- Break the pairing between the Clover Kiosk and the Clover Flex (refer to “Clearing a Pair” on page 17).
- If that doesn’t work, log into your Commandpoint dashboard and click “sync with Clover” this will be at the top left corner of the Commandpoint website.

- Confirm that the Clover Kiosk is plugged into the power source directly
- If you are using a surge protector, make sure that it is turned on
- Restart the Clover Kiosk by opening the printer tray and holding down the power button.

paper compartment.

If your Clover Kiosk does not process / accept payments the solution can be:
- Make sure the Clover Kiosk is connected to Wi-Fi:
- This is most likely an issue with the Clover Flex.
-
- Check your Clover Flex to see if it displays “ready to order” but the payments are not going through.
- In this situation “breaking device pairing” may fix the processing issue.
- If it exits the ready to order screen, check to see if there is a red bar at the top of
the screen.
-
- It will say “device tampered” or “device cannot take payments”.
- If that is the case your Clover Flex will have to be replaced.
- Contact VMS support.
