# Create POS Auth Token

`POST /pos/auth-token`

Generates an RS256-signed JWT token for POS terminal authentication.

Use this endpoint to create an auth token that a POS terminal (via MONEI Pay) can use to process payments. This is designed for app-to-app flows where your backend generates the token and passes it to the MONEI Pay app running on a POS device.

Both `pointOfSaleId` and `storeId` are optional. When provided, the resulting payments will be associated with the specified terminal and store. If `pointOfSaleId` is omitted, the terminal will be assigned an identifier automatically.

The token is valid for 24 hours.
