Create a Connection Token

To connect to a reader the Stripe Terminal SDK needs to retrieve a short-lived connection token from Stripe, proxied through your server. On your backend, add an endpoint that creates and returns a connection token.

post/v1/terminal/connection_tokens

Response

Successful response.

locationstring

The id of the location that this connection token is scoped to. Note that location scoping only applies to internet-connected readers. For more details, see the docs on scoping connection tokens.

object'terminal.connection_token' required

String representing the object's type. Objects of the same type share the same value.

secretstring required

Your application should pass this token to the Stripe Terminal SDK.
