Where are the endpoints that uses Oauth2 token for disbursements

I am building a simple app for disbursement and would like to get consent from user(merchant) before disbursement with recipients managed on the web.Now I have gotten the Oauth2 token but can not find the endpoints to actually use it.I checked use cases page and it appears I can use MerchantTransferWithConsent but there is no documentation of endpoints on Postman Collection. How do I achieve this kind of disbursement with consent flow that I have?Thanks for your time.

Authorisation

Good morning team, I hope you are doing great. I am having some concerns if you can help me:What is the role of bc-authorize and CreateOauth2Token ? (I didn’t understand how it happens in real time, or what is its use).what is the difference between CreateOauth2Token and CreateAccessToken?Why do I need bc-authorize and CreateOauth2Token if I can make my requests only with CreateAccessToken?

Not receiving callback in Sandbox

I have subscribed to the Collections product, and trying to test the request to pay (v1_0/requesttopay) in sandbox. I am setting the callback URL in the header of this request. Using the same domain I had provided while creating API user.The callback URL allows both HTTP and HTTPS, both PUT and POST is also allowed.The payments requests are getting accepted and when I do a status check they are successful. But I am not receiving any callbacks. I have tried sending multiple payment requests but did not receive callback for any of the request. Example request payload:URL: https://sandbox.momodeveloper.mtn.com/collection/v1_0/requesttopayRequest payload:{"currency":"EUR","amount":"15","externalId":"b5926558-cd36-40fa-b455-67ef5e97d2e5","payer":{"partyIdType":"MSISDN","partyId":"22933123466"},"payerMessage":"Wallet Recharge","payeeNote":"Wallet Recharge"}

what is the collection widget about

I have been looking through the documentation and can’t find much information about the collection widget product. All I could find is that it enables a developer or partner to integrate a MoMoPay checkout button to accept Mobile Money payments on your e-commerce site. but what differentiates it from the othe collections product and how can we implement it in the sand box.

Send money to mobile number with callback

Hi,for I client I need to integrate the MTN Momo payment api. A company/cooperative wants to pay its suppliers (farmers) to their mobile numbers. I have seen the api docs, can create tokens, check balance etc in the sandbox environment. When the user is created a callback url can be registered. According to the docs the callback is used for the transfer endpoint. I was advised by others to use the ‘deposit’ endpoint to send money to the farmers ( https://sandbox.momodeveloper.mtn.com/disbursement/v1_0/deposit). But then would need calls to https://sandbox.momodeveloper.mtn.com/disbursement/v1_0/deposit/ to check the status. I cannot find info regarding this endpoint in the documentation, not sure if this is what I need to send money from a cooperative to its farmers mobile.I prefer using a callback instead to receive the status update. Question, can the deposit endpoint work with a callback? Or if not, is there another endpoint that I should use to be able to send mobile money from the
