Is it possible for a business with multiple locations (POSs) using the same MID, and utilising the central storage?

If a business has multiple locations (POSs) using the same Clover account and merchant ID, and the Clover eCommerce API is being used, is it possible to:

  1. Store the API authentication token centrally and access it from all locations?
  2. Store customer data with Clover and access it from all locations?

In this scenario, when customers place an order at a location, their information is stored on file. However, if they place an order at a different location, they currently have to provide their information again. From the customer's perspective, they are ordering from the same business and shouldn't have to repeatedly enter their information for each location.

So if all of the Clover devices are on ONE merchant ID all information will be synced across the devices and you can access the data from an API call.

Ie, using /v3/merchants/{mId}/customers doesn't matter how many devices they have, all information will be pulled from that mId.

We recommend storing the authentication token in backend servers, which are the safest, to prevent the token from being obtained by others.
