“With this service, the calling app can request the underlying provider to generate (and optionally send) an invoice to a customer for a specific payment or service. Apps will pass in the details of the items to be paid for as well as the payer’s details and any authorisation details that may be required. OnePipe will in turn forward to the provider’s dedicated implementation. Providers will be required to respond the details of the invoice generated and a link with which the App can access it digitally.

Before you proceed: Please read this.
