ECom Create charge and capture charge have Required X-Forwarded-For

It seems like Create and Capture of ECom API now have required "x-forwarded-for"

https://docs.clover.com/reference/createcharge

https://docs.clover.com/reference/capturecharge

This "required" is a problem because we could be using multi use tokens or previously created single use token where Client's browser IP address is not available. Can you please clarify in the docs when x-forwarded-for is optional vs. required.

Please read over our https://docs.clover.com/docs/new-required-header-for-clover-ecommerce-charge-and-order-pay-requests

This is required for all of our Ecomm requests.

I understand. As I mentioned, what I'm asking how to handle cases when customer is not available? As an example, I mentioned multi-use tokens. Here customer has provided the card and token is generated. But the token can be used much later multiple hours or days later.

If there is payment being made with the Ecomm api, there has to be an IP address on where they payment is being originated.

"Ecomm api, there has to be an IP address on where they payment is being originated."

I guess it depends on how x-forwarded-for is used. Can you please describe when the transaction will be declined based on x-forwarded-for mis-match?


If the x-forwarded-for does not apply to stored_credentials, then there is not a issue.
