Before you can pay or direct debit your end customer, you must ensure that they're part of your contacts. There are two ways you can add a new contact:
Please be advised that the contact added this way will not have an agreement in place and cannot be direct debited and can only be direct credited.

a. Log into your Zepto dashboard
b. Click on Contacts from the left-hand menu items
c. Click on Enter Bank Details button
d. Enter your customer's details
e. Click on Add Contact buttonAdd a contact via the API
