## Validation mode: USSD OTP

The customer generates their OTP by dialing the USSD code `*144*4*6#` on their phone **before sharing it with you**. You submit a single request with the number and the OTP. The operator validates the transaction on the network side — this processing can take from a few seconds to several minutes. The callback is the source of truth.

<Note>
  Display the USSD code to dial (`*144*4*6#`) with clear instructions before the customer fills out the form. The generated OTP has a short validity period — encourage the customer to enter it immediately.
</Note>

## Recommended UX

<Steps>
  <Step title="Show the USSD instructions">
    Before any form, tell the customer to dial `*144*4*6#` on their Orange phone. A one-time OTP code appears on their screen.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Collect the number and the OTP">
    Your form collects, at the same time:

    * the Orange phone number in the format `22670XXXXXXX`
    * the OTP code received via USSD
  </Step>

  <Step title="Submit the request">
    A single API request with `customer` and `otp` filled.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Show a waiting indicator">
    Operator validation can take from a few seconds to several minutes. Show a waiting state and wait for the callback.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Expected response

<CodeGroup>
  ```json Success (create) theme={null}
  {
    "response_code": "00",
    "token": "eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1Qi...",
    "response_text": "Votre requête est en cours de traitement",
    "wiki": "https://client.ligdicash.com/wiki/createInvoice"
  }
  ```

  ```json Failure (create) theme={null}
  {
    "response_code": "01",
    "token": "",
    "response_text": "Echec (Code00)",
    "wiki": "https://client.ligdicash.com/wiki/createInvoice"
  }
  ```
</CodeGroup>

<Warning>
  Store the `token` immediately after creation. Use it to call `confirm` when the callback is received — never rely on the token in the callback payload.
