- These details are returned in the transaction response.
- The customer must make a bank transfer from their bank app using the CLABE and Reference Number.
- Payment confirmation will be sent via webhook once the funds are received.
🚨 Important Notes
- SPEI transfers are processed in real time.
- Ensure that customer document information (RFC or CURP) is properly validated before submission.
- Expiry times for the payment are based on Orkestra’s default configuration or can be customized in the future.
