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.
