We now have our own POS software, and a customer wants to use clover pay. The specific scenario is that when checking out on POS, the clover device (the customer is currently flex 2nd) is called to initiate a payment request, and the result is returned to POS for checkout.
Now I want to test the simulator with rest pay display. Is there a more effective way to complete my scenario?
I am not sure what your question is but you need a dev kit to test semi integrations.
I want send a request to clover device, and the device can prompt customer to swipe card，after swipe it tell me the respone (success/faild/timeout)
Isn't that what I helped you with on this thread https://community.clover.com/questions/45869/clover-rest-payment-api.html? As a refresher, here are the docs - https://docs.clover.com/docs/rest-pay-overview. You need a Clover devkit to test your integration.
yes, the customer is in a different country, and I can't get a physical machine for clover, so I want to install an emulator first,
but after install clover engine apk, the script install_apps.py crash,
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "install_apps.py", line 191, in <module>
main(sys.argv[1:])
File "install_apps.py", line 149, in main
for row in conn.execute('select * from apps'):
sqlite3.OperationalError: no such table: apps
and i list the file in folder
ls /var/folders/2c/fy8vpqps6zx0qgpdckcj0f9r0000gn/T/*db*

sorry, does the devkit is SDK? and i will use the sdk to communicate with the device
A devkit is a physical Clover device that hits the sandbox environment. https://cloverdevkit.com/. An SDK is a piece of software. You don't need a Clover SDK if you use the Rest Pay API. I would contact developer relations to make sure you still cannot use an emulator for this - https://community.clover.com/articles/33197/new-email-address-for-all-clover-developer-support.html.
Thank you for your patient answer, It might also take a while to get the equipment since I'm not in the US, if I can use the simulator to test the API first (not including payment) to complete the API process, and then test the payment when the conditions are ripe?
yes, I know, I just want test the api just like "status" (https://docs.clover.com/reference/device_status), if i can do that, that's close to success
Like I said, the last time I tried it Cloud Pay/Rest Pay didn't work on the emulator. Also, your semi integration will require a Clover approved "app" and you must demonstrate that you can handle certain payment flows outlined here - https://docs.clover.com/docs/testing-rest-pay-flows-us. You won't be able to do that without a devkit.
oh i see, we can't use emulator for rest API pay testing.
So can I ask the merchant to set up a physical machine for me to test remotely for rest api?
or do you recommend using sdk? (https://docs.clover.com/docs/sdks-doc-resources)
