How a bill payment works
Validate
The meter or smartcard number returns the customer’s name.
Pay
Your wallet is debited for the amount or bouquet chosen.
Deliver
The token or confirmation comes back in the response and by webhook.
Fewer failed payments, fewer support calls
Name check before payment
Customers confirm the account name, so tokens don’t go to the wrong meter.
Token resend
Retrieve a token again by reference when a customer loses it.
Webhooks and reversals
Failed payments return to your wallet, and you get the final status by webhook.
