Integration Guide for SphereOne SDKs through OAuth 2.0 Client Creation

Introduction to OAuth 2.0

To integrate SphereOne SDKs, establishing an OAuth 2.0 client is imperative.

OAuth 2.0 serves as an authorization framework, permitting third-party applications to access user accounts on an HTTP service by delegating user authentication to the service hosting the user account and authorizing applications to access said user accounts.

For an in-depth understanding of OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect, kindly refer to the detailed documentation available here.

This pivotal step ensures users can seamlessly log in with SphereOne and utilize the payment API.

Step-by-Step Guide to Creating an OAuth 2.0 Client for SphereOne SDKs Integration:

Step 1: Navigate to OAuth 2.0 Client Section

Within your application settings, locate and select the OAuth 2.0 client section.

Step 2: Initiate OAuth 2.0 Client Creation

Click on the + Add OAuth 2.0 client button, which will present a form modal for you to complete.

Step 3: Completing the OAuth 2.0 Client Form for SphereOne SDKs Integration

Form Completion Guidelines:
