Hi all,
We're developing for the EU market, and we need to differentiate by country of installation (for differing legal regulation, translation, different currency symbols, etc).
As far as I can tell the Clover SDK doesn't offer a clear way to determine the country of installation. What is the recommended method to distinguish between countries (Eg, UK vs IRL) in our apps?
You should be able to get merchant address, which includes country, from the merchant info.
If this is the recommended approach, do you know of any restrictions on the values that might be present in the country field? For example "Great Britain" vs "UK" vs "United Kingdom" ?
You should read the locale from merchant information. It is present within the properties node of merchant. Also, there is a difference while reading it from API and from SDK. (Country, API) = (IRELAND,en-IE) (UNITED KINGDOM,en-GB) (GERMANY,de-DE) (UNITED STATES,en-US). For SDK just replace the '-' with underscore i.e '_'.
Thanks! That's a great answer!
We ended up solving the problem by identifying the merchant's current SubscriptionID via the REST API, since subscriptions have to made anew for each country. (I'm not sure if the SDK makes the SubscriptionID available as well.)
You will get following information from Merchant details:-
This information is enough for knowing the country details of that Merchant.
