Expiring auth tokens coming in 2023

Mark your calendars for an OAuth change to roll out in 2023 - 2024. Clover plans to implement expiring authentication tokens. We will use short-lived access tokens to authenticate with APIs. These tokens can be refreshed using a refresh token. Your applications must manage these tokens and handle the access token refresh to maintain continuous access to the APIs.

Takeaway for developers

No action is required at this time. Clover will share more information throughout 2023 about what technical changes are needed.

What to expect

In March and May,* Clover will release new APIs to replace current OAuth calls.

When	What	Action Needed
March 2023	New apps	Use the new endpoint to obtain expiring OAuth tokens for your new apps.
May 2023	Existing apps	Start migrating existing apps from the V1 endpoint to the new endpoint to use the expiring OAuth tokens.
August 2024	Migration complete	All apps should be using the new endpoint.

*Dates are subject to change.
