# Method 1: Using configuration dictionary
config = {
    "sms": {

        "password": "your_password",
        "sender_id": "YOUR_SENDER_ID"
    },
    "payment": {
        "merchant_id": "your_merchant_id",
        "username": "your_username",
        "password": "your_password"
    },
    "email": {
        "username": "your_username",
        "password": "your_password",
        "from_email": "sender@example.com"
    }
}

client = NaloSolutions(config)

# Send SMS
response = client.send_sms("233501234567", "Hello Ghana!")

# Make payment
payment_response = client.make_payment(
    amount=10.00,
    customer_number="233501234567",
    customer_name="John Doe",
    item_desc="Product purchase",
    order_id="ORDER_123",
    payby="MTN",

)

# Send email
email_response = client.send_email(
    to_email="recipient@example.com",
    subject="Test Email",
    message="Hello from Ghana!"
)

# Handle USSD requests (for webhook endpoints)
ussd_response = client.handle_ussd_request({
    "USERID": "test_user",
    "MSISDN": "233501234567",
    "USERDATA": "",
    "MSGTYPE": True,
