zong.com open api

I'm not a coding guru, but this looks quite possible to implement. Zong.com offers a unique possibility of payment via sms shortcode, and the billing goes to the end user's cell/mobile phone! This is interesting for customers who don't have credit cards, and I want to offer this as a payment alternative. They have service in the USA/UK/Europe! Anyone want to take a crack at this?
