# Vodafone/Airtel Ghana Billing

### <mark style="color:green;">`GET`</mark> `/yourdomain`

Vodafone Ghana and Airtel have recently changed the flow of their billing. They now handle all billing confirmation; meaning the flow starts when a billing request comes in.

#### Example

```hsts
<Your DR endpoint>?ORIGINATOR=<Shortcode>&KEYWORD=<Keyword>&MESSAGE_TEXT=MNO+BILLED%3A+SILENT+BILLING+MESSAGE&CHANGED=False&VALUE=<Amount>&RCPT=2021-07-28T02%3A02%3A56.811855&RESULT=1&PROVIDER=vodafonegh&RECEIPTED=2021-07-28T02%3A02%3A56.811855&RECIPIENT=<MSISDN>&ID=<Mobivate sepcific reference ID>&SENT=2021-07-28T02%3A01%3A50
```
