REST API

Communication Protocol Between the Acceptance Devices App and POS System in Cloud Mode

When operating in Cloud mode, the communication protocol used between the Acceptance Devices app and the point-of-sale (POS) system is a single HTTPS request to the backend. The response is sent synchronously. The POS system keeps the connection open until the transaction is completed and the response is provided. The backend timeout setting is 180 seconds.
