Direct Billing Web Service API

Version 4.1.1
https://webservices.bango.com/directbilling_v4_1/?WSDL

Introduction

The Bango Direct Billing API allows you to initiate server-to-server payments using the Bango Payment Platform. Rich, real-time information on each billing attempt is available – was billing successful and if not, exactly why the payment request failed. You can use this real-time payment result data to optimize your user experience.

The payment user experience is controlled by and presented by your application or web site – Bango has no direct interaction with the end user.

Your responsibility to your customers

The Direct Billing API bypasses the browser-based payment flow normally used in a mobile web site. Instead, you present the UI to the user and are responsible for communicating pricing terms and obtaining their approval before sending a payment request to Bango.

Your service must comply with local rules and regulations set by mobile operators and regulatory bodies such as the MMA, PhonepayPlus and Payforit etc.

If you plan to operate a subscription service using Bango, see the Subscriptions documentation for “before you start” advice - http://support.bango.com/entries/23396867.
