    Access is authorized by a bearer access token plus a channel entity
    identifier (entityId). There is no OAuth2 authorization/token flow — the
    bearer token is a long-lived credential issued per channel from the merchant
    portal. entityId is submitted as a request parameter (form body or query),
    the access token as an HTTP Authorization: Bearer header.
