How does and much more importantly how can I tell which location a clover device is attached to. Is there a concept of this terminal is at 4th and Main and that terminal is no Boca Raton, Florida? I have prowled what I can of what I can get from the merchant via the API and I don't see how to tell this information. It would seem important for reporting. Is the device somehow named with this information?
No, devices are not registered to any physical address. You can get the merchant's registered address but there's no guarantee that correlates to the device's physical address. Did you try using Android's location APIs?
So how does Clover handle, for reporting if nothing else, if there are two different locations for Maribel's Perfect Pies? I presume there must be a separation for reporting of some sort. There also could be two different physical inventory lists?
As in this terminal is store # 5 and that terminal is store # 10
We don't know the physical location. We also don't really support geo-distributed merchants. Each location is a unique merchant. So you'll see things like "JIM'S DONUTS #1", "JIM'S DONUTS #2", etc. Typically the merchant's address will be some approximation but there's no guarantee.
Ok - that makes sense. Is there any way to tell that Jim's Donuts #1 and Jim's Donuts #2 are related?
