FEATURE PHONE POS to Feature Phone Payment
USE CASE DESCRIPTION
Enabling a simple 1-step (micropayment) OR 2-step (PIN payment) between a Merchant (payee) and a Customer (payer), where the Merchant and the Customer have Feature Phones.
TEST INSTRUCTIONS (AFRICA REGION):
Choose any 2 Feature Phones, one representing the Merchant POS (payee) and the other a Customer Handset (payer).
Once done use the following steps to test the solution:
STEP 1 (with the "Merchant" Handset)
Dial +27 87 250 2145 and follow the IVR (voice instructions) to enter the Payment Amount due such as 2# (for $2), upon which the remote server will begin broadcasting a QR Code Sound File.
STEP 2 (with the "Customer" Handset)
Dial +27 87 250 2771 and hold the handset near the Merchant Handset while it broadcasts the QR Code sound file. NOTE: when entering a payment amount due of 20# ($20) or more, the customer handset will ring with IVR (voice instructions) to enter a demo PIN 0000 before STEP 3 happens.
STEP 3
Both Merchant and Customer handsets receive their respective text-based transaction receipts.
NOTES & DISCLAIMER
-
Feature Phones use voice channel communication by default, without requiring software.
-
Long distances between DIALR servers and the location of testing parties can increase latency.
-
DIALR Servers can be deployed in closer proximity to potential customers to guarantee near-instant transaction speeds when/where required.
