I need to create a checkout which sends the order to clover using the API
But I want the Android device to notify the user that an order comes in, close to real time, its for a restaurant to prepare the food for online orders, and print off the order for the kitchen.
Is this possible with the current Android app available or will a custom built app be required?
Thanks
If the device is running a customer facing display (Pay Display), you can look into using LAN Pay Display https://docs.clover.com/build/integra...
Otherwise, yes, you need to build an app. We do not expose a general purpose web print-to-device API. You'd use Clover App Notifications to send a message from your server to our server, and then to the device. Your app would use some variant of the PrintJob class to print.
As for the "close to real time", we do not offer that. Our notifications are best effort. You are of course free to author your own notification service or use a third party service if it suits your needs better.
