Create a one-time charge

Create a one-time charge for an existing customer. This is for ad-hoc charges like setup fees, overages, or one-time services. For recurring billing, use subscriptions instead. The charge will be processed immediately using the customer's default payment method, unless a specific payment method ID is provided. --- **Related endpoints** - `GET /charges` — List charges - `GET /charges/{id}` — Get charge - `POST /charges/{id}/capture` — Capture charge - `POST /charges/{id}/refund` — Refund charge **Common errors** - `400 invalid_request` — malformed payload or failed validation. - `401 authentication_error` — missing, invalid, expired, or revoked credential. Codes: `authentication_failed`, `invalid_api_key`, `expired_api_key`, `api_key_revoked`, `session_invalid`, `merchant_required`. Carries a `WWW-Authenticate: Bearer` challenge. - `404 resource_missing` — the referenced resource does not exist or is not visible to your key. - `409 conflict` — Idempotency-Key collision with a different body, or a concurrent state-transition conflict. **Idempotency** Pass an `Idempotency-Key` header (UUID v4 recommended) to make retries safe. Keys are valid for 24 hours; see [the idempotency guide](/docs/fundamentals/idempotency).

Authorization

x-api-key<token>

Your RevKeen merchant API key. Create and manage keys in Dashboard → Settings → Developer. Use rk_sandbox_* for staging/test and rk_live_* for production. The same key may be sent as Authorization: Bearer <key> if that suits your HTTP client better. A missing, invalid, expired, or revoked key returns 401 with a WWW-Authenticate: Bearer challenge; a valid key without the required scope returns 403.
