Request Merchant Config
This endpoint allows you to retrieve merchant configuration information from a payment device. The terminal will respond with available merchants, currencies, and terminal details.
This method is rate limited to 1 request per 500ms per pollId.
Flow:
Send request to terminal.
Terminal processes request.
Terminal sends response via webhook to the specified callback URL.
Nota
404 does not mean failure: A 404 Not Found response means the terminal has not yet returned a merchant configuration. This is normal and expected — you should continue polling. Only stop polling when you receive a 200 OK (response available) or 408 Request Timeout (response expired).
Responses have a TTL: If you do not poll within the timeout window, the response expires. You will need to send a new
/poll/requestMerchantConfigrequest to try again.Merchant configuration requests do not trigger a
SALE_RECEIVEDevent. The terminal immediately processes the request and returns the list of merchants via aMERCHANT_CONFIGcallback.
callbackUrl
The URL that CloudLinkApi will use to return the merchant configuration to the caller.
deviceToken
The token of a PAX POS device.
correlationId
An ID provided by the caller. Returned in the callback for message matching.
terminalId
If terminal has more than one merchant, this field is used to identify the merchant. To get a list of merchants, use the requestMerchantConfig request
timeToLive
The maximum time, in seconds, for a request to reach the physical terminal. The default value is 5 seconds.
