Hi is there a way to do payment processing without using clover's hardware? We would like to create a website that will use Clover as a payment processor? So we need pure API payment processing integration, we have a web app written in React and REST API written in Node.js, so is there any way to achieve this?
We have an ECommerce API to process card not present payments: https://docs.clover.com/docs/clover-development-basics-ecommerce
Thank you David for your answer but I still need your help, :-) here is what is our case:
We are a QR code ordering platform where a user with his mobile phone scans QR code with any app he wants and it opens our web app that is mobile friendly. Our web app is able to show restaurant menus and then users can open a Tab(with authorization of 20$ for example) and keep ordering without being charged every time he adds something to their Tab(for example for every new beer), and then when he decides to go home he will close Tab and then we will charge for the full amount. How can we do that because ECommerce API isn't supporting payment authorization?
You may want to experiment with the auth/capture model - https://docs.clover.com/docs/ecommerce-accepting-payments#using-the-auth--capture-model.
Thanks but we still have a problem. In https://docs.clover.com/reference/createcharge we can set tips amount but we can't set tips amount in https://docs.clover.com/reference/capturecharge and we need to set tips on the capture when a customer is closing a tab(leaving a restaurant), do you have any solution for that?
Yes I know, but a tip needs to be entered at the end of the service, for example:
The guest in the restaurant ordered a burger and beer and he doesn't know if the service in the restaurant is good or bad, so he will enter tips at the end, once he is done with eating and everything, then he fills out for example 20% tip if he is happy with the service or for example 5% tip if he is not. Can we do that anyhow with Ecomerce API?
