  note: >-
    Merchant API key issued in the Ozow dashboard (dash.ozow.com), sent on
    payment and transaction-query requests alongside a SHA512 HashCheck field.
    The HashCheck is computed by concatenating the request fields in the
    documented order (SiteCode, CountryCode, CurrencyCode, Amount,
    TransactionReference, BankReference, CancelUrl, ErrorUrl, SuccessUrl,
    NotifyUrl, IsTest), appending the merchant PrivateKey, lower-casing the
    string, and taking the SHA512 hex digest. Incoming NotifyUrl notifications
    are verified the same way (concatenate response fields excluding Hash,
    append PrivateKey, lowercase, SHA512).

  note: >-
    The Refunds and Payouts APIs authenticate with a reusable bearer token
    obtained from the Ozow identity/token service (a "Get Token" request),
    used until it expires, in addition to a per-request HashCheck.
