any optimization or fixes in this
Yes 👍 — your code works but I can see a few places where we can optimize, fix potential bugs, and
improve reliability. I’ll break it down into fixes, improvements, and best practices:
🔧 Fixes Needed
1. Missing Authorization Header
Your Clover API calls are missing the Authorization: Bearer <token> header. Without this, calls
may fail with 401 Unauthorized.
ts
headers: {
'accept': 'application/json',
'content-type': 'application/json',
'authorization': `Bearer ${CLOVER_API_KEY}`
}
2. Wrong Method for Updating Order with Customer
Clover uses **POST to /orders to create orders** but for updating an existing order (like
adding customer), you should use **PUTorPATCH**, not POST`.
Example:
ts
await axios.post(`${CLOVER_BASE_URL}/merchants/${mid}/orders/${orderId}`, update, {...})
→ should likely be:

ts
await axios.post(`${CLOVER_BASE_URL}/merchants/${mid}/orders/${orderId}/customers`, update,
{...})
or PUT depending on Clover API spec. (We should double-check docs for correct endpoint).
3. Stored Customer Check
You’re checking if (!storedCustomer.success) but I don’t see storedCustomer being defined in
this snippet. That will throw an error.
⚡ Optimizations
1. Type Safety for Order Items
Right now item: any is used. Define an interface:
ts
interface OrderItem {
id: string;
name?: string;
quantity?: number;
}
and enforce typing to avoid silent bugs.
2. Transform Items Properly
Clover atomic order creation usually expects id, name, price, quantity, not just id.
Example fix:
ts
const lineItems = orderData.orderItems.map((item: OrderItem) => ({
item: { id: item.id },
price: item.price,
unitQty: item.quantity || 1
}));
3. Better Error Logging
Instead of only returning error.response?.data?.message, also log full error.response?.data for
debugging.
ts
console.error("Clover Error:", error.response?.data || error.message);
4. Avoid Double JSON.parse
If functionCall.functions[0].arguments is already parsed JSON, calling JSON.parse() again may
break. Wrap in try/catch.
5. Atomicity

You’re creating an order, then separately creating a customer, then linking. Clover supports
adding customers inline when creating an order (depending on endpoint). This avoids two API
calls.
✅ Refactored Version (Optimized & Fixed)
ts
case 'placeOrder': {
try {
const orderData = JSON.parse(functionCall.functions[0].arguments);
if (!orderData.isConfirmed) {
responseContent = {
success: false,
message: "Order must be confirmed before placing. Please confirm your order first."
};
break;
}
console.log("Incoming orderData:", orderData);
// Transform order items for Clover
const lineItems = orderData.orderItems.map((item: any) => ({
item: { id: item.id },
price: item.price,
unitQty: item.quantity || 1
}));
const cloverOrderPayload = {
orderCart: {
groupLineItems: false,
lineItems
}
};
console.log("Placing order with Clover API:", JSON.stringify(cloverOrderPayload, null, 2));
// Place order
const orderResponse = await axios.post(
`${CLOVER_BASE_URL}/merchants/${mid}/atomic_order/orders`,
cloverOrderPayload,
{
headers: {
'accept': 'application/json',
'content-type': 'application/json',
'authorization': `Bearer ${CLOVER_API_KEY}`
}
}
);
if (orderResponse.status === 200 && orderResponse.data) {
const orderResult = orderResponse.data;
// Add customer if needed
if (!orderData.customerId) {
const customerPayload = {
firstName: orderData.customerName,
phoneNumbers: [{ phoneNumber: orderData.customerPhone }]
};
const customerRes = await axios.post(
`${CLOVER_BASE_URL}/merchants/${mid}/customers`,
customerPayload,
{
headers: {
'accept': 'application/json',
'content-type': 'application/json',
'authorization': `Bearer ${CLOVER_API_KEY}`

}
}
);
console.log("Customer created:", customerRes.data);
// Link customer to order
const updatePayload = {
customers: [{ id: customerRes.data.id }]
};
const orderUpdateRes = await axios.put(
`${CLOVER_BASE_URL}/merchants/${mid}/orders/${orderResult.id}`,
updatePayload,
{
headers: {
'accept': 'application/json',
'content-type': 'application/json',
'authorization': `Bearer ${CLOVER_API_KEY}`
}
}
);
console.log("Order updated with customer:", orderUpdateRes.data);
}
responseContent = {
success: true,
message: `Order placed successfully! Order No: ${orderResult.id || 'N/A'}`,
orderId: orderResult.id,
orderData: orderResult
};
} else {
throw new Error("Unexpected response from Clover API");
}
} catch (error: any) {
console.error("Error placing order with Clover:", error.response?.data || error.message);
responseContent = {
success: false,
message: `Failed to place order: ${error.response?.data?.message || error.message}`
};
}
break;
}
👉 Do you want me to also check Clover’s latest API docs for the exact endpoint for attaching a
customer (/orders/{id} vs /orders/{id}/customers)? That way I can make this bulletproof.
