API Provider Setup
To authenticate a Clover element instance you must register an app with Clover. When you authenticate, use the App ID, App Secret, and Site URL as the OAuth API Key, OAuth API Secret, and OAuth Callback URL.
In addition, the app that you want to connect to must be in use by a merchant and you must know that Merchant ID.
See the latest setup instructions in the Clover documentation.
