Developer Pay API Make Payment Without User Login

Is it possible to use this: https://docs.clover.com/faq/how-do-i-... without requiring a user to login with a clover account? We would like to allow customers to pay from a website without having to login.

Customers are not required to have or log in to a Clover account to make payments on your site using our Developer Pay API. However in order to use the Developer Pay API, you will need to have a valid API token for the merchant.

But doesn't the API token expire now? Will we need to renew each time?

Only merchant generated API tokens expire. These are not designed for production use anyway. API Tokens generated with OAuth or the Android SDK do not expire.

Hi Miguel, the documentation reflects that API tokens are good for a year. 'The API token has a lifespan of one year.' Can you confirm that the statement only applies to merchant generated API tokens and not OAuth generated tokens? Thank you.

So we would grab the api token from the merchants initial login. Then use that for the payments for users not logged in?

Yes, you can read more about our OAuth flow here: https://docs.clover.com/build/oauth-2-0/
