By default this method will redirect user where he can choose a payment option(card,mtn,...). means if you already know the method that a user will pay with, you can pass the paymentOption to the redirect method:

The slug of the qrcode, you will get it after generating a qrcode and The paymentRef is the reference of the order that your customer want to pay, this reference may help you to know which product your customer has paid after accomplishing his payment on guhemba.
