The create_payment_link API wants the LocationID of the seller matching the authorization token. I thought I might use the Location API
– I have the seller’s authorization token – just exchange it for the Location ID
`GET /v2/locations/{location_id} - Square API Explorer
https://connect.squareup.com/v2/locations/main
This generates the error
category": “AUTHENTICATION_ERROR”,
“code”: “INSUFFICIENT_SCOPES”,
“detail”: “The merchant has not given your application sufficient permissions to do that. The merchant must authorize your application for the following scopes: MERCHANT_PROFILE_READ”
}
!! HOWEVER !! those permissions ARE granted during oauth – see Developer Dashboard Log:
