Token Expiry & Serving Counter Enhancement #265

Closed tunlinphyo closed 3 months ago

tunlinphyo commented 3 months ago

Request I'm seeking a method to invalidate a token before its designated expiration time.

My Store Features

Customers receive a token for a single checkout session.
After checkout, the token is cleared for the customer, requiring them to request a new queue number.
I aim to boost the serving counter based on the number of "Active Tokens". For instance, if the count of "Active Tokens" falls below 50, I want to automatically increase the serving count by 50.

Problem Even after a token is cleared from a user, the VWR system continues to mark it as active due to the fixed expiration time.

Thank you @tunlinphyo for requesting this enhancement. Regarding your suggestion to invalidate a token before its designated expiration time, you can achieve that by using the /update_session private endpoint after the checkout logic. Session status is denoted by an integer (0 indicates active, 1 indicates completed, and -1 indicates abandoned). For more details on /update_session private API, refer to our developer guide here.

Thank you, @bassemwanis, for your kind response. I apologize for my lack of knowledge.
