• The mobile phone number of the payee (accountNo): the mobile phone number of the recharge
• Disbursement amount (amount): The disbursement amount applied by the merchant

**

• Operator code (targetOrg): Merchant can directly specify the telecom operator corresponding to payee’s mobilephone number(payeeAccountNo), if it’s not specified, PMmax will automatically match telecom operator based on prefix of payee’s mobilephone number. - There may be situation such as mobile number portability, which will lead to mismatch of the telecom operator and payee’s mobile network, and the failure of the transaction.

2. The transaction is completed: When the transaction reaches the final state, PayerMax will notify the merchant

Disburesement failed：

• If phone billing top-up failed, PayerMax would notify merchant the failure and return the fund - When there is a scenario where the recharge fails due to operator mismatch, we will return the possible matching operator name in the error description (responseMsg) for reference.

Disburesement succeeded:

• FIXED_VALUE_RECHARGE/RANGED_VALUE_RECHARGE successful recharge means successful transaction
