Open a TAB from REST API + Have it show on the POS Mini Device

We’re using the REST api to communicate with the devkit PoS device. From the REST api, is it possible to open a tab for a user and have it sync and reflect on the POS device?

According to your docs, I need to create an order and pre-authorize a payment, which I’ve tried but ran into these errors:

‘Invalid payment’ when using CASH as tender
‘We currently don't allow you to add native credit or debit payments’ when using CREDIT CARD as tender

Here is my flow:

1. Create Order
2. Create Payment
3. Create Authorization (using the payment object from #2)

Thanks

Hi @flute,

Unfortunately we currently do not support pre-authorization through REST API at this time. So it is currently not possible.

Sorry for the inconvenience,
Raymond

Thanks for you answer. Is there anyway todo it remotely? For example, from android SDK or iOS SDK?

Yes, it is possible to do it remotely through our Remote Pay API, which will let you communicate with a Clover device remotely. You can find our list of Remote Pay SDKs on our Clover GitHub repositories here: https://github.com/clover/

For Android, you can find the repository here: https://github.com/clover/remote-pay-android
and here is an example of creating a pre-auth on it: https://github.com/clover/remote-pay-android/blob/...

For iOS, you can find the repository here: https://github.com/clover/remote-pay-ios
and it has the same preauth function: https://github.com/clover/remote-pay-android/blob/...

Hope that helps,
Raymond
