.NET Desktop App using Web API

We have 3rd party custom software for establishments that use Clover. We have completed the integration in the test environment but now we want to get our customer up and running. Of course their merchant id isn't enough .. how do we facilitate the process so that our customers have access to their data through our app?

Hi, it sounds like you would have a normal Windows/.NET Desktop app which uses the Clover REST API. Normally after proving the capability in the test environment, you would typically want to follow the instructions here: https://docs.clover.com/launch/

The instructions that pertain to "web applications" would most likely apply in full to your app, even if it's not using a web browser. If you hook up a simple OAuth mechanism in your app to allow a merchant to authenticate to their account, you can then use the token obtained via OAuth to query our services for the merchant's data.
