3.5 Bill Payment

This topic provides the systematic instructions for the Bill Payment facility, which allows users to make their utility payments online through the Chatbot application.

Using Chatbot, the user can easily make their various bill payments like mobile, electricity, credit card, and more.

Note:

There is no out of the box integration with any product processor, and as part of implementation this will need integration with the bill payment aggregator (Third Party qualified).

To pay a bill:

  1. Perform one of the following actions:
    • Type bill payment request along with the Biller Name in the message area, and press Enter. For example, “Please pay $75 to Airtel”.
    • Tap on the Pay Bill option in the help menu, and then tap Send.

    The Chatbot prompts you to provide OTP sent to your registered mobile number for authentication.

  2. Enter the OTP received on the mobile and press Enter.
    The application prompts you to select the biller.
  3. Tap on the Select from list link.
    The application displays a list of billers.
  4. Select the required biller from the list, and then tap Send.
