# POS Auth Token

The POS Auth Token API generates authentication tokens for point-of-sale (POS) terminals.

These tokens enable app-to-app communication where a merchant application generates a POS auth token via API key, then sends it to MONEI Pay to create payments on a POS terminal.

The generated token is an RS256-signed JWT valid for 24 hours, containing the merchant account context and optional POS terminal and store identifiers.
