Are all `access_tokens` generated using different methods the same?

Some tokens are generated via `Merchant Token` or `Token` or `Code`. Are they all the same?

When we talk about OAuth, it's the process in which you're generating the token. There are four main ways. First is merchant generated (Merchant Web Dashboard > Settings > API Tokens). This is purely for testing and limited access to APIs.
Second is `Token` from OAuth Request. This is also limited to testing.


Third is the `Code` you see in the radio selection in the image above. That's the one you'll need to use in order to generate a proper OAuth token for all access to our APIs. Fourth is the Android generated token, which should have all access as well.

If you're having issues with generated `Code` OAuth, please take a look at this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6riNP_wlKcU
