Key concepts

Learn about the key concepts in Clover Ecommerce integration for merchants:

Clover Ecommerce API tokens

Clover Ecommerce API tokens are secure keys that allow apps to access a merchant's data on the Clover platform. These tokens allow only authorized apps to access the merchant's account and perform necessary operations.

Clover OAuth flow

The Clover v2/OAuth flow is a method to securely authenticate and authorize apps to access a merchant's data. It involves using PKCE to exchange an `auth_code` for an `access_token`, ensuring that only trusted apps can interact with the merchant's account.

Clover Ecommerce payment tokens

Clover Ecommerce tokens replace sensitive payment details with randomly generated identifiers called tokens, ensuring secure transactions. They include single-pay tokens for one-time transactions, multi-pay tokens for recurring payments, ACH tokens for electronic bank transfers, and gift card tokens.

Clover Ecommerce APIs for payments

The Clover Ecommerce API payments flow involves creating and capturing charges, paying for orders, saving card information securely, issuing refunds, and setting up recurring subscriptions, amongst other payments-related functions. This flow ensures secure and efficient handling of payments.

Clover hosted checkout

Clover hosted checkout lets merchants accept payments directly on their website by redirecting customers to a Clover-hosted payment page. This ensures secure transactions and reduces PCI DSS compliance burdens.

Clover iframe and payment form

Clover iframe integration embeds a secure payment form directly on the merchant's website using an iframe. This lets customers enter payment details without leaving the website, providing a seamless user experience.
