Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How does the Airtime API handle discounts?

Your developer account wallet is charged the discounted amount directly based on your tier (e.g. ₦97.00 charged for ₦100 airtime).

What happens if a recipient phone number is invalid?

The API validates phone numbers instantly and returns a 400 Bad Request with a clear JSON error message, without debiting your wallet.

Can I query the status of an airtime transaction?

Yes, use the GET /api/transaction/{transaction_id} endpoint to retrieve the real-time status and carrier reference.
