Problem getting Oauth working for live merchant

I've gotten the payment REST API working for my sandbox account and merchant, but I'm currently trying to make it work with the live merchant and a live developer account. However, when I go to https://www.clover.com/oauth/authorize?client_id=xxxx (I was still logged in) it just freezes with the little animated clover icon in the middle of the screen and nothing happens. I checked the access logs on the server that the authorize script is supposed to contact and there was no activity. I tried it on multiple browsers just to make sure it wasn't an issue with my main browser (Firefox), but the same thing ended up happening. I tried this yesterday. Today I can't even log into developer-home because the login page freezes with the little login icon (again, verified with multiple browsers). What could be causing these freezes?

Has your app been approved?

Update: I was able to log in, but the authorize page still freezes with no post to the URL on my side.

Ah, that may be the issue. I haven't submitted the app. I was under the impression that I wouldn't need to because I'm just making a simple payment integration for one specific merchant and not trying to make something publicly available on the app marketplace for other merchants. I admit that I'm not up to speed with exactly what Clover is in the big picture sense, as I'm just trying to get one merchant hooked up with a payment integration. So, do I need to get it approved to be able to connect with it?

No, in this case you can probably just use a merchant token (no app required). See your merchant dashboard EComm Api Token section.

Oh, from my experience in the sandbox it seemed to me that it was necessary to create an app in order to get the Oauth token necessary for the step where you generate a PAKMS key, since it requires the auth_token from Oauth. Would I be able to simply substitute the merchant token in its place?

You need to generate an ECommerce API Token. It will have a public key (which is your PAKMS) and a private key (which will be your access token).
