Learning how to tokenize a credit card via:
https://docs.clover.com/reference/create-card-token
and keep getting a "401: Unauthorized" error. What is the API expecting here?
I've tried all manner of API keys generated in my sandbox environment.
nevermind, just found this:
arggh, still can't get it. I've created an app and linked it to my test merchant, but what does this mean exactly?
"Set the authorization: Bearer header value as an OAuth-generated auth_token for a test merchant with specific permissions"
arggh^2, seems like obtaining the necessary token is far from a trivial process. I'm a merchant and all i want to do is enable customers to sign up for our recurring payments plan online. Seems like I can add customers to the payment plan easy enough, but the customer needs to have a card on file. Getting that card on file seems like an exorbitant amount of work. Is there a simpler way of accomplishing that without creating an app?
I would recommend thoroughly reading our docs to get setup. You need to get a API key(PAKMS key) to tokenize a card. Also if you are a merchant you should be able to use your merchant generated token. I would recommend reaching out to support to navigate you to your ecommerce tokens to use.
Many thanks for your reply. Have worked though the docs as much as I can. I'm stuck at generating OAuth token as outlined here. Have ping'd the server with the required fields and get back:
"Invalid OAuth credentials"
You mention being able to use my 'merchant generated token'. In which step? Do I use the API Key generated in the Dashboard as the OAuth token? When I do that using this utility, I get a similar "401 Unauthorized" error.
Think I got it. For others possibly wondering: used an IFRAME token from the "Ecommerce API Tokens" area.
I noticed the issue with the API Key Expected by /tokens? post, and it seems like something that the experts at "storyviewe" could help with. Ensuring a proper API key integration is crucial for smooth operations. It'd be great to explore their insights on resolving this matter effectively.
