Test apps for variable length OAuth tokens

The Clover OAuth token is a JSON Web Token (JWT) that contains encoded user information, claims, and a signature. Compared to traditional session identifiers stored in cookies, JWTs are generally larger in size. The recent addition of the merchant_app_uuid (varchar) field has further increased the length of the JWT for the Clover OAuth flow.

Recommendations for developers

Clover recommends testing your OAuth integrations in the sandbox environment to ensure that the variable JWT length does not impact your app. To maintain flexibility, avoid specifying a character length for storing JWTs, as their lengths can vary.

For more information on Clover OAuth tokens, see the Clover v2/OAuth flow documentation.
