Endpoints: Authentication

Required mechanisms to authenticate a 3rd party session and trigger the integration to the API.

POST /oauth/token

Code Block
https://{posapi_url}/flexiti/pos-api/v2.5/oauth/token

Please note the parameters should not be passed as Query string, the service is expecting an application/x-www-form-url encoded payload.

This service Authenticates the developer user and provides a Bearer Token that needs to be used as part of every future request.

The refresh token is used to get a new access token once the current one has expired.

In order to use it add the refresh token (provided in the original /oauth/token call) and change the grant_type to refresh_token.

Scope Parameter Usage

For the token endpoint there are two possible scopes: merchant or customer.

...

A token with a merchant scope will be allowed for all endpoints

...

These endpoints support Merchant integrations of Flexiti services.

Please note the parameters should not be passed as Query string, the service is expecting an application/x-www-form-url encoded payload.

This service Authenticates the developer user and provides a Bearer Token that needs to be used as part of every future request.

  • A token with a merchant scope will be allowed for all endpoints

    • When to use: for In-store channel implementations, or Online channel back office processes like capturing an authorization, releasing, refunding/returning, etc.
