FIND ID / CREATE API
1. Obtaining the Merchant ID
- Log in to your Clover Dashboard.
- In the URL bar, look for the text after
/m/. This is your Merchant ID (e.g., .../m/ABC123XYZ...).
- Alternatively, go to Account & Setup > Merchants to view your Merchant ID.
2. Creating the API Token
- In the Clover Dashboard, navigate to Account & Setup.
- Under "Business Operations", click on API Tokens.
- Click the Create New Token button.
- Important: If prompted to choose between 'API' and 'Ecommerce API', you must select **Ecommerce API** to enable online checkout features.
- Enter a name for the token (e.g., "Easy Menu App").
- Set the permissions. Ensure you check Orders (Read/Write) and Payments (Read/Write).
- Click Create. The new token will be displayed. Copy it immediately as you may not be able to see it again.
