Clover Orders Seeder

This script is intended to be used by developers to seed a Clover Sandbox account, assisting with your third-party application development and testing. It creates orders and makes in-full, credit card payments for those orders using the Clover REST APIs. These orders are based on the pre-existing inventory of the merchant. Items are selected randomly, and each order consists of one item.

The credit card information in lines 17-20 is a test Visa provided by First Data. It will properly process fake payments in the Clover Sandbox environment, but is invalid for real transactions.

Requirements

• Python 3.7.3 (backwards compatible with 2.7)
• pip
• Clover Sandbox developer account

General Usage

• Open the file in a text editor and configure the script on lines 5-9.
• Ensure that your merchant has at least 1 inventory item.
• To ensure payments are made in full, turn off all default taxes.
  Clover Dashboard -> Setup > Taxes > Tax rates
• Download the virtualenv packages with pip install -r requirements.txt
• Execute the script by running python orders_seeder.py

Additional Information

The script sleeps in order to respect Clover's API rate limit. For more information, please reference our Developer Guidelines. The script consumes the following Clover API endpoints:

• GET v3/merchants/{MID}/items to fetch a merchant's inventory
• POST v3/merchants/{MID}/orders to instantiate or update an open order
• POST v3/merchants/{MID}/orders/{orderID}/line_items to add a line item to an order
• Developer Pay API:
  • GET v2/merchant/{MID}/pay/key to fetch a merchant's developer pay secrets
  • POST v2/merchant/{MID}/pay to process the payment

For development and testing questions, please reference our docs, our public developer forum.
