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.
