consumer_key = "your_consumer_key"
environment = "sandbox", "production";
charge_request_id = "your_charge_request_id"
4. **Running the script**

```bash
lipad = new Lipad(iv_key, consumer_key, consumer_secret, environment);
2. **Validate Payload**
```bash
payload = {
"msisdn": "",
"account_number": "",
"country_code": "",
"currency_code": "",
"client_code": "",
"due_date": "",
"customer_email": "",
"customer_first_na …
