OAuth 2.0 - Failed to validate authentication code - Clover redirects to '/oauth/authorize' instead of /oauth/v2/authorize

I recently built my app's OAuth v2 integration in sandbox, and kept running into:

{'status': 'Unauthorized', 'message': 'Failed to validate authentication code.'}

Turns out, the code being passed to my API was from 'oauth/authorize' instead of '/oauth/v2/authorize'. This is the default for navigating from the left panel in sandbox as well as the default for clicking "Example OAuth Request" in the Edit REST Configuration Menu.

SOLUTION:

Change

https://sandbox.dev.clover.com/oauth/authorize?client_id={CLIENT_ID}

to

https://sandbox.dev.clover.com/oauth/v2/authorize?client_id={CLIENT_ID}

This issue with OAuth 2.0 redirection paths can be quite frustrating, especially when defaults don't align with the expected configuration. Ensuring the correct endpoint like /oauth/v2/authorize is crucial for seamless authentication—small details can make all the difference in troubleshooting integrations efficiently!
