Overview

The Data Purchase API allows you to fetch available data plans for a specific network provider and complete a data purchase for a customer. To begin, retrieve the list of available plans using the Get Data Plans endpoint. Once the customer selects a preferred plan, you can complete the purchase using the Purchase Data endpoint.
Each mobile network provider has a unique serviceId. Always pass the correct one to ensure successful transactions.
