To collect payments from your client - DIRECTLY

OPTION 1: This option initiates a transaction and waits( or block the running code) for the transaction to complete before returning a response.

      collect = campay.collect({
         "amount": "5", #The amount you want to collect
         "currency": "XAF",
         "from": "2376xxxxxxxx", #Phone number to request amount from. Must include country code
         "description": "some description",
         "external_reference": "", #Reference from the system initiating the transaction.
      })

      print(collect)
      #{"reference": "bcedde9b-62a7-4421-96ac-2e6179552a1a", "external_reference":"12345678", "status": "SUCCESSFUL", "amount": 5, "currency": "XAF", "operator": "MTN", "code": "CP201027T00005", "operator_reference":  "1880106956" }
      

status can be SUCCESSFUL or FAILED

OPTION 2: This option initiates a transaction and immediately returns the initiated transaction reference for you to use to check the status of the transaction.

      collect = campay.initCollect({
         "amount": "5", #The amount you want to collect
         "currency": "XAF",
         "from": "2376xxxxxxxx", #Phone number to request amount from. Must include country code
         "description": "some description",
         "external_reference": "", #Reference from the system initiating the transaction.
      })

      print(collect)
      #{"reference": "bcedde9b-62a7-4421-96ac-2e6179552a1a", "ussd_code": "*126# for MTN or #150*50# for ORANGE", "operator": "mtn or orange" }

      })

      print(campay_status)
      #{"reference": "bcedde9b-62a7-4421-96ac-2e6179552a1a", "external_reference":"12345678", "status": "SUCCESSFUL", "amount": 5, "currency": "XAF", "operator": "MTN", "code": "CP201027T00005", "operator_reference":  "1880106956" }

To collect payments from your client - using PAYMENT LINKS

      payment_link = campay.get_payment_link({
         "amount": "5",
         "currency": "XAF",
         "description": "some description",
         "external_reference": "12345678",
         "from":"2376xxxxxxxx",
         "first_name":"John",
         "last_name":"Doe",
         "email":"",
         "redirect_url": "https://mysite.com/",
         "failure_redirect_url":"https://failed.com/",

      #{"status": "SUCCESSFUL", "link": "https://www.campay.com/pay/with/link/", "reference": "bcedde9b-62a7-4421-96ac-2e6179552a1a"}
      '''
      Redirect your customer to the returned payment link. 
      You can use the "reference" to verify the status of the transaction. If check the transaction status and client has not initiated a transaction on the payment link, you will get a response telling you the transaction is not found.
