Clover Ecommerce APIs enable developers to create custom apps and integrations, offering PCI-compliant payment solutions and flexible API-only options for enhanced ecommerce functionality. As a developer, you can get started with building and testing your ecommerce app integrations on the Global Developer Dashboard.

Get started with the Global Developer Dashboard

1. Create a global developer account.
2. Manage test merchant accounts and information.
3. Generate Ecommerce API tokens (public and private keys) for your test merchant.
   Note: Test API tokens generated from the sandbox Merchant Dashboard are intended for development and testing only. You need the merchantId and test API token to test interactions with Clover Ecommerce API and your ecommerce integrations.
4. Copy the public and private tokens to test your ecommerce integrations as follows:
   • Public token—Use as the Ecommerce API key or apiAccessKey for card, gift card, or ACH tokenization.
   • Private token—Set as the Bearer token in the Authorization header to use Ecommerce APIs. Also, used for hosted checkout integrations.
5. Tokenize the payment source, such as cards or gift cards, using the Clover Ecommerce API and then complete the steps to create a charge or pay for an order.
