Create a chargeDeprecated

This method is no longer recommended—use the Payment Intents API to initiate a new payment instead. Confirmation of the PaymentIntent creates the Charge object used to request payment.

Parameters

amountintegerRequired
Amount intended to be collected by this payment. A positive integer representing how much to charge in the smallest currency unit (e.g., 100 cents to charge $1.00 or 100 to charge ¥100, a zero-decimal currency). The minimum amount is $0.50 US or equivalent in charge currency. The amount value supports up to eight digits (e.g., a value of 99999999 for a USD charge of $999,999.99).

currencyenumRequired
Three-letter ISO currency code, in lowercase. Must be a supported currency.

customerstring
The ID of an existing customer that will be charged in this request.

descriptionstring
An arbitrary string which you can attach to a Charge object. It is displayed when in the web interface alongside the charge. Note that if you use Stripe to send automatic email receipts to your customers, your receipt emails will include the description of the charge(s) that they are describing.

metadataDictionary
Set of key-value pairs that you can attach to an object. This can be useful for storing additional information about the object in a structured format. Individual keys can be unset by posting an empty value to them. All keys can be unset by posting an empty value to metadata.

receipt_emailstring
The email address to which this charge’s receipt will be sent. The receipt will not be sent until the charge is paid, and no receipts will be sent for test mode charges. If this charge is for a Customer, the email address specified here will override the customer’s email address. If receipt_email is specified for a charge in live mode, a receipt will be sent regardless of your email settings.

shippingDictionary
Shipping information for the charge. Helps prevent fraud on charges for physical goods.

sourcestring
A payment source to be charged. This can be the ID of a card (i.e., credit or debit card), a bank account, a source, a token, or a connected account. For certain sources—namely, cards, bank accounts, and attached sources—you must also pass the ID of the associated customer.

statement_descriptorstring
For card charges, use statement_descriptor_suffix instead. Otherwise, you can use this value as the complete description of a charge on your customers’ statements. Must contain at least one letter, maximum 22 characters.

statement_descriptor_suffixstring
Provides information about the charge that customers see on their statements. Concatenated with the prefix (shortened descriptor) or statement descriptor that’s set on the account to form the complete statement descriptor. Maximum 22 characters for the concatenated descriptor.

Returns

Returns the charge object if the charge succeeded. This call throws an error if something goes wrong. A common source of error is an invalid or expired card, or a valid card with insufficient available balance.

Capture a charge

Capture the payment of an existing, uncaptured charge that was created with the capture option set to false.

Uncaptured payments expire a set number of days after they are created (7 by default), after which they are marked as refunded and capture attempts will fail.

Don’t use this method to capture a PaymentIntent-initiated charge. Use Capture a PaymentIntent.

Parameters

amountinteger
The amount to capture, which must be less than or equal to the original amount. Any additional amount will be automatically refunded.

receipt_emailstring
The email address to send this charge’s receipt to. This will override the previously-specified email address for this charge, if one was set. Receipts will not be sent in test mode.

statement_descriptorstring
For card charges, use statement_descriptor_suffix instead. Otherwise, you can use this value as the complete description of a charge on your customers’ statements. Must contain at least one letter, maximum 22 characters.

statement_descriptor_suffixstring
Provides information about the charge that customers see on their statements. Concatenated with the prefix (shortened descriptor) or statement descriptor that’s set on the account to form the complete statement descriptor. Maximum 22 characters for the concatenated descriptor.

More parameters

application_fee_amountintegerConnect only

transfer_dataDictionaryConnect only

transfer_groupstringConnect only

Returns

Returns the charge object, with an updated captured property (set to true). Capturing a charge will always succeed, unless the charge is already refunded, expired, captured, or an invalid capture amount is specified, in which case this method will throw an error.
