About this repo

🚩 IMPORTANT
The purpose of this tutorial is to teach Clover developers about the hosted checkout API. The resulting application should not be used in the production environment.

This lesson provides a Vue app bootstrapped with Nuxt.js as a starting point. You will learn how to configure the app to interact with Clover's hosted checkout API. This API is the simplest option for adding Clover payments to a merchant's website. It is ideal for small businesses wanting to quickly set up an online payment option for their customers.

There are some limitations to consider when choosing to integrate with hosted checkout.

1. A merchant's Clover inventory cannot be used with hosted checkout.
2. Refunds and voids are not available with hosted checkout. Hosted checkout provides a customer-facing payment interface, not a fully-featured payment system for merchants.

Branches
