Remittance: C2C

Good morning MTN community 😊I want to use Remittance product to allow my app users to transfer money to their friends.I got confused about which endpoint to use, cashTransfer or Transfer.in the transfer request body the sender is not mentioned, therefor the sender is my application account not my user’s account right? in cashTransfer, are the funds transfered from the mtn mobile money account or in cash? and can you give me an example of values of the following attributes please? { "orginatingCountry": "string", "originalAmount": "string", "originalCurrency": "string", "payerIdentificationType": "PersonIdentificationType1Code", "payerIdentificationNumber": "string", "payerIdentity": "string", "payerLanguageCode": "string", "payerMsisdn": "string (Msisdn)", "payerGender": "string"} Thank you for your help. @crankluga @allan.ddamulira @anicet @Maxie @Lubunde Job

Sandbox API Testing

Can the sandbox API be tested on a application? When I send a call to the requesttopay endpoint I get a server error. Secondly collection widget display but doesn’t work and when I tried to create Oauth 2.0 token I get Authorized as status code and error of “invalid client”. I also want to know how I can place the API user key and API key on the authorization field after encoding to base64.

How do I generate the Consent Auth Request ID used in the CreateOauth2Token endpoint?

I downloaded the postman collection of APIs. However, in the variables, the consent request id is already defined. I was wondering how it is generated in the testing sandbox. I want to use it when creating an Oauth2 token which I later use in other endpoints that require it.
