Code Block

...

The refresh token is used to get a new access token once when the current one has expired.is about to expire. It cannot be refreshed after it is 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. More information available here: How to Implement the Refresh Token

Scope Parameter Usage (IMPORTANT)

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

...

  • A token with a customer scope will be allowed in all endpoints required by customer facing UI, other endpoints will considered this token invalid.

...

    • When to use: for Online channel implementations during the application and authorization flows (outlined below).

  • 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.
