Saylor
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
·
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 & enable Merchant Mode
Open the SaylorPay app and enable Merchant Mode if it
isn’t already active.
Step 2: Navigate to Bulk Payments
Select “Bulk Payments” from the main menu.
Step 3: Select Data Source
Tap on the down facing arrow and select “Data From Webhook”
Step 4: 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": "0239588234",
"amount": "1",
"reference": "saylorPay",
"telco": "AirtelTigo"
},
{
"receiver": "700297",
"amount": "1",
"reference": "saylorPay",
"telco": "MTN"
}
]
Step 5: 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 provided in the preceding step.)
Step 6: 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 8: Select a default SIM
Choose and set your MTN Merchant SIM as the default SIM slot to make payments from.
Step 9: Save Settings
Once done with the steps above, select “Save Settings”.
Click “Start” whenever to begin processing payments.
Click “Stop” to pause payment processing.
