@shilpa-padgaonkar once we have internal aligment in the WG will go to commonalities for the terms to be included in the Glossary as a result of the contribution of this WG

---

Some initial compilation of terms for Carrier Billing WG:

Carrier Billing (a.k.a. Direct Carrier Billing): An online payment process which allows users to make purchases by charging payments against OB Billing Systems, accordingly to the user's configuration in the OB. Purchase: The action of acquiring a (set of) good(s) Payment: The process of paying for that (set of) good(s) 1-STEP Payment: Payment process perfomed in one phase (i.e. one action), that involves all the OB Carrier Billing Systems checkings to guarantee the reservation of the involved amount and trigger the charging against Billing Systems. 2-STEP Payment: Payment process performed in two phases (i.e. two actions). First action deals with payment preparation with deals with the checkings to guarantee the reservation of the involved amount. Second action is an explict confirmation or cancellation of the payment by the user. Any payment not confirmed/cancelled by a given user is discarded after some time in order to avoid inconsistency in the billing systems.

Please @bigludo7, @alabajnaid any improvement/refinement is more than welcome (as well as considering other terms if seen relevant)

Thanks !

Few comments: Carrier Billing (a.k.a. Direct Carrier Billing): An online payment process which allows users to make purchases by charging payments against OB Billing Systems, accordingly to the user's configuration in the OB. In a common usage in the industry, the payment is processed on current account balance or charged on next bill generated for this line.

Purchase: The action of acquiring a (set of) good(s)/service(s) Question for Pedro: Need to indicate if order fulfillment is triggered from this request. From Juan Carlos Garcia explanation I understood that fulfillment is not triggered.

Payment: The process of paying for a (set of) good(s)/service(s)

1-STEP Payment: Payment process performed in one phase (i.e. one action), that involves all the OB Carrier Billing Systems checking and trigger the charging request against Billing Systems.

2-STEP Payment: Payment process performed in two phases (i.e. two actions). First action deals with payment preparation request to guarantee the reservation of the involved amount. Second action is an explicit confirmation or cancellation of the payment by the user. Any payment not confirmed/cancelled by a given user is discarded after some time in order to avoid inconsistency in the billing systems.

[PedroDiez]

Agreed with the refinements (Carrier Billing, Payment, 1-STEP Payment, 2-STEP Payment)

Regarding Purchase, yes order fulfilment is not triggered by this request. Proposal:

Purchase: The action of acquiring a (set of) good(s)/service(s). Order fulfilment is not triggered from this request as it relies on merchant's responsibility.
