POST {{url}}/billing_requests
Billing Requests help create resources that require input or action from a customer. An example of required input might be additional customer billing details, while an action would be asking a customer to authorise a payment using their mobile banking app. See Billing Requests: Instant First Payment + Direct Debit mandate creation for how-to’s, explanations and tutorials.
