Use the Ecommerce API tutorials to handle payment flows, including charges, customers, refunds, and orders. The Ecommerce API tutorials are written for the sandbox environment. Once your app is complete, switch it to use the production base URLs. For optimal sandbox testing, Clover recommends using the provided test cards instead of live cards. This practice prevents potential data loss and ensures secure, effective payment integration testing.

Before you begin

Review the Ecommerce data model to understand the access points for retrieving and working with data related to the payment flow.
Review information on Ecommerce app permissions and permission sets.
Generate OAuth expiring (access and refresh) token. An OAuth token for a specified merchantId and Clover app IDis required for any Ecommerce API flow to authenticate and authorize your account.
Review information on tokenization as this is an important aspect of taking card-not-present (CNP) transactions on ecommerce websites.
