Does Clover provide HPP, a simple Payment button, not a shopping cart or checkout process, that can be placed on a merchant's website for purposes of taking payments only? If so, is there a link that can be provided to merchant for easy setup? All I'm finding is the API for checkout integration which is not what we're looking for. Merchant does not need eComm solution, just HPP.
The easiest path we currently have is our hosted checkout - https://docs.clover.com/docs/creating-a-hosted-checkout-session..
For Merchants who are not tech savvy, is there anyone that could jump in a call with them to add it to their website?

Not to my knowledge. The hosted checkout requires a bit of development knowledge and in my opinion is beyond the scope of a non-tech savvy merchant. I believe we have some easier solutions in the works, they just aren't ready yet.

Adding on to this post as I had the same question—looking to link merchant's customers to an online hosted payment page.
I'm setting up a Squarespace site for them, with my basic coding knowledge, and we hoped to be able to add a button that links customers to a payment portal via Clover. Will the Hosted Checkout route be too over my head?
Worried trying to copy/paste/tweak this Js will end badly.
It isn't terribly difficult, you need to make a POST request to the checkouts endpoint that will look something like this:
curl --location --request POST 'https://sandbox.dev.clover.com/invoicingcheckoutservice/v1/checkouts' \--header 'Authorization: Bearer your_private_key_here' \--header 'X-Clover-Merchant-Id: your_merchant_uuid_here' \--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --data-raw '{ "customer": {}, "shoppingCart": { "lineItems": [ { "name": "Floor lamp", "unitQty": 1, "price": 10900 } ] }}'
Obviously, your shoppingCart will be different. The response will include the URL to the checkout page where you will need to redirect to.
