`deeplinkRedirect`	string (uri)	Redirect URL for browser and mobile flows to the app.

  "multicaixaExpress": {
    "deeplink": "mcxwallet://purchase?qrref=...",
    "deeplinkRedirect": "https://api.sandbox.proxypay.co.ao/deeplink/...",
    "qrCodeUrl": "https://api.sandbox.proxypay.co.ao/qrcode/...",
