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.

Sandbox access token invalid token_type?

Hi!When I do a POST to the CreateAccessToken endpoint I get a response where the token_type has a value set to "access_token" instead of something like "Bearer". I’m expecting the token_type to be Bearer since the Transfer endpoint documentation states that the Authorization header should be the “Bearer Authentication Token generated using CreateAccessToken API Call”.Am I missing something?Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!

Can't create user in sanbox environment getting subscription key invalid, but it is valid.

I am trying to creacte an api user in the sandbox environment, I can verify that I am doing everything correctly however I am getting “Access denied due to invalid subscription key. Make sure to provide a valid key for an active subscription.” . I have tried using the primary and secondary keys, none are working for me. I have gone through most of the issues mentioned and the solution people justed nothing seems to be working for me. As a reference this is the request I am making,curl --location 'https://sandbox.momodeveloper.mtn.com/v1_0/apiuser' \--header 'Ocp-Apim-Subscription-Key: b93400415bde4c96b06c57e698789cda' \--header 'X-Reference-Id: 8b1a5696-9c43-41c6-a884-d11e0f5bfe17' \--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \--data '{    "providerCallbackHost": "https://webhook.site/b6b6cb4c-e9fa-42b8-96a8-b82e25859b85"}'

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.

(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"}
