How To Make Bulk Payments From Webhook Using SaylorPay

The Bulk Payment feature in SaylorPay allows you to automatically make as many payments as you wish to third parties in a very simple and convenient way. This feature saves you the stress of having to attend to each payment one at a time, and that too manually in a time-consuming manner.

With SaylorPay, it only takes a few simple steps to make hundreds of payments with our automated USSD feature.

SaylorPay offers 3 simple ways to make bulk payments based on the data source. These data sources are 

·         Manual Data Input

·         File Import and

·         Webhook

In this post, we will walk you through how to make bulk payments from file import.

To do this, follow these steps;

            Step 1: Launch SaylorPay on your mobile phone

            From the main menu, tap on “Bulk Payment”

            This takes you to the Bulk Payment page.

Step 2: Select Data Source

Tap on the down facing arrow and select “Data From Webhook”

            Step 3: Enter Webhook URL

            Enter the Webhook URL.

            (This is the URL from which payment details will be fetched)

Important Note: The payment details to be fetched from your defined Webhook URL must be in JSON format as illustrated with the sample below:

[

    {

        "receiver": "0230500134",

        "amount": "1",

        "reference": "saylorPay",

        "telco": "AirtelTigo"

    },

    {

        "receiver": "700207",

        "amount": "1",

        "reference": "saylorPay",

        "telco": "MTN"

    }

]

Step 4: Define Polling Interval

Enter your preferred polling interval.

(This is the time it takes for SaylorPay to periodically fetch payment details from the Webhook URL specified in the preceding step)

            Step 4: Set Payment Processing Interval

            The default and minimum Payment Processing Interval (in seconds) is 30. You can however change this to any interval of your choice.

            Tip: The Payment Processing Interval determines how long SaylorPay takes to start processing a new payment request in the queue after completing the last payment.

Note that making mobile money payment(s) always requires your authorization (via your PIN) and to completely automate the process, you will need to provide your PIN for each payment in the queue to be automatically authorized at your request.

Note that SaylorPay does NOT Collect or Know your PIN, learn more about this in our Privacy Policy.

            Step 6: Select a default SIM

            Choose and set a default SIM slot to make payments from.

Step 7: Save Settings

Once done with the steps above, select “Save Settings”.

            Click “Start” whenever to begin processing payments.

Click “Stop” to pause payment processing.
