PHP Order Processing Integration - Not customer facing

We have built and use a custom PHP Backend, Browser based, order processing application where we enter and process customer orders. It's not public facing and is only accessible internally by order processing staff.

What would be the best (easiest) method for integrating customer credit card payments into this system?

I have been looking in to the Ecommerce API using the iFrame integration. Would this work to allow our employees to authorize an order on a customer's credit card... and then later for our shipping system to then charge the customer once the product ships?

Thanks!

You can use the Ecommerce API to preauth the charge (set capture to false) and once the customer gets the item you can capture the charge with the Ecommerce capture endpoint.


Please be aware of card brand authorizations

What about the "hosted checkout".... would it be possible to use it for my scenario?


Thanks!

Hosted checkout will have the customer to access the link to pay for the item, I would recommend creating a sandbox account and testing these flows.

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. I am sort of lost in all the documentation... it seems clover has so many development options. I have access to our clover account, do I still need to set up my own developer sandbox even though I plan on integrating with our current account?

No, you can generate a merchant ecommerce API token from Account & Setup and use that to make your calls.
