- Payment Voucher Generation: Your application sends a payment request to Localpayment API, which generates a unique payment voucher with barcode/Reference number.
- Voucher Delivery: The customer receives the payment voucher electronically (email/SMS) or prints it for in-person payment.
- Cash Payment at Retail Location: The customer visits a participating retail partner, presents the voucher, and pays the amount in cash.
