Application

What it is

An application is an integrator-facing resource with its own identity, event subscription, scopes, type, and OAuth client credentials.

Why it exists

It exists to represent a reusable integration or software client that accesses the API using OAuth. It provides a way to define what an integration can do and which events it wants to receive.

How it relates to other concepts

An application can be installed in other merchant accounts, producing one or more Installations for those merchants. Its scopes control access.
