Overview

Generate a dynamic, single-use virtual account for a customer with a fixed receivable amount and a configurable expiry window. The account is tied to an exact amount - it will only accept a payment matching that value - and automatically becomes inactive once the lifespan elapses or the payment is received. This is ideal for checkout flows, invoice payments, or any scenario where you need a guaranteed, one-time payment collection without reusing a permanent account.
