Complete payment:

How payment works:
- Cash payments:
The transaction is completed using the merchant’s Prepaid Balance, which is deducted immediately. - Card payments:
The transaction is processed as a normal card purchase (CDP). The funds settle into the merchant’s account as per the standard settlement process, while the Prepaid Balance is debited to fund and complete the prepaid transaction.
Commission:

- Commission accumulates as part of prepaid earnings and is paid out separately
