How can the API allow person to person transfers?

Hello 🤗I want to implement the scenarios bellow, can you suggest for me the right endpoints:Transfer money from user account to his friend. Transfer money from user account to business accounts of some service providers (to pay a bill or any another service).I want to use CreateInvoice for both of cases, will it work? because the friend account is not for business, will this provide and error? does mtn make a difference between a merchant or a personal account?and what endpoints do you suggest for me.@byaruhaf @anicet @crankluga @allan.ddamulira @leontymo I would appreciate if you help me 🙏

GetAccountBalance Endoint

Good day team,I am completing the UAT test cases excel document for Collection. I have all other cases completed except the one for insufficient funds, i.e. sending a debit amount greater than Payer available balance. Because I do not know the balance I have, I decided to call the GetAccountBanlance end point. Unfortunately I am getting status 500 (internal server error), with the message “Authorization failed. Insufficient permissions.”Any assistance to point me to what I am not doing right.Thanks

REQUEST TO PAY

Hello all,Below are a few challenging cases I encountered while in the production. Any help in any way will be of great help to many developers.  1I successully make a request to pay but I have a case where the user enters1.1) a wrong pin.1.2) a pin not exactly 5 digits as required. The end point does not return any error or response. Normally I would need to get that error or response and do something server end.How do I get around a case like this? Or is there a way to get that error message? I have already used    getRequestToPay/{X-referenceId} and it does not return anything in this case of a wrong pin. 2When a user cancels a transaction, I noticed that it still remains in status PENDING and when a user uses USSD, they can access the requestToPay awaiting their confirmation.I do not want this to happen. When a user cancels, the request should indeed be ended and not accessible any other way. how do i implement this. 3Lastly, How do i reduce the timeout time for requestToPay in the

MTN Ghana Partner Onboarding [ MTN Ghana ]

Four months ago I completed a User Acceptance Test by demonstrating how the API Products(Disbursements and Collections) were integrated into our application. A followup email was sent saying “Kindly be informed that the team is aligning internally and will revert once completed. Thank you.”, but as of today not much has come of this even after I requested an update on the status of the Onboarding Stage.Requests to the Api Endpoints are no longer working and development on our application has stalled.How do I proceed?

MTN MoMo

Dear MTN MoMo team,Thank you for a great product. We are working on integration of the MoMo payment gateway into our App and wanted to ask about the following points:1. There is no API available for creating users.2. Regarding the 'ValidateAccountHolderStatus' API, where can I find the 'accountHolderIdType' and 'accountHolderId'?3. If a user is not registered and calls the 'GetBasicUserInfo' API, what error will be received? This is not specified in the API document.4. Will the 'RequesttoPay' API function in a way where, for example, the amount will be debited from the consumer (Payer) and credited to the Merchant's wallet?5. Will the 'RequestToWithdraw' API function in a way where, for example, the amount will be debited from the Merchant's wallet and credited to the consumer (Payer)? I am looking forward to hearing from you.All the bestBenjaminCARE Denmark
