What do we mean by “Location”
A location represents either a physical brick and mortar store location, a website or anything describing a venue where customers can interact with a Point of Sale device.
What is an External ID?
The external ID is what is sent via API call to Clutch as part of the credential set that must be used to authenticate access for that specific brand location. It is also known as “Location Id” in our API credential set.
Example:
Clutch’s main office is located in Ambler, PA. You can see in the screenshot below that we have a location for our office in Ambler with an external ID of CLUTCHAMBLER
