# Steps Allows your merchant account to get paid in a way that works for you using the various options we provide. You can receive funds from anyone, anywhere directly into your wallet through our payment methods that support; `mobile` `money`, `card` and `crypto` ### Steps for receiving money 1. Create your request data as a JSON 2. Set the relevant request headers; a) **`Content-Type`: `application/json`**\ b) **`Accept`**: **`application/json`** c) [**`Authorization`**](/authorization/access-token.md#how-to-get-an-access-token) The access token that was generated on the authorization `API` 3. `POST` the composed data to the collections `API`. 4. Process the response returned by the `API` In-case the response contains a `payment_url` that is required to complete a transaction, we expect your application to redirect the customer to the payment `URL` 5. As the payment is being processed on our side, any change in payment status will be sent to the respective [`webhook URL`](/appendix/webhook.md) of the merchant account. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
