Split Payments

The payments property is an array, allowing transactions to be settled across multiple payment methods:

"payments": [
  {
    "type": "CASH",
    "amount": 50000
  },
  {
    "type": "EMONEY",
    "amount": 68000
  }
]

The sum of all payment amounts must equal the invoice total (tax_inclusive_total).
