P2G use cases

@Mauree, Venkatesen

@karim.jindani

  • P2G use case is the postpartum use case - where the mother pays for a registration.

  • APIs expected for this use case.

@karim.jindani proposed some changes to the payment flow and also on how the notifications are made on the payments made & the reference number.

Also requested for additional information on how the payments BB would validate the payments that have been done are correct and that they are not being paid twice.

The two scenarios to be added are the USSD push payment and the Payment using QR code.

@karim.jindaniadded that they are some variations in the bill payments since some bills might require the payer to pay a minimum amount, in his case a bill inquiry API would also be needed.

Elie also proposed a process flow where the Government Agency sends an invoice to both the payer and a Bill Aggregator through the initiating DPG that initiated the transaction.

@karim.jindani also proposed the ability to create a bill repository which would contain all the bill information and amounts based on the reference.

 Action items

The APIs that will be demonstrated in the P2G use case will be those that are related to the USSD and QR code payments.

 Decisions

  1. Ingress APIs should be the focus at the moment - i.e payments to the payments BB from other Govstack BBs and vice versa.
  2. APIs should be delivered first.
