UI guidelines


📘

SoyFRI payment flow

SoyFRI delivers the payment request to the user via push notification in the SoyFRI app. There is no automatic return URL after the user confirms payment; the user must manually switch back to the merchant app or page. The payer.phone value must match the phone number or username registered in the user's SoyFRI account for the payment request to be delivered correctly.
