## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability httpay-xyz-stripe-api-gateway-create-charge-f96ab382 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Charge the customer's card $49.99 USD using Stripe — the source token is tok_visa and add the description 'Pro Plan Subscription'.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to create a Stripe charge programmatically without managing your own Stripe API keys or account setup. It is ideal for agents or serverless workflows that need pay-per-call access to Stripe's charge creation capability via the x402 micropayment standard, avoiding the overhead of a full Stripe integration.

## Known failure modes

- Card declined — Stripe returns charge failure code and decline reason
- Invalid source token — 400 error with invalid_request_error
- Insufficient funds — charge fails with card_declined code
- Currency mismatch or unsupported currency — Stripe validation error
- x402 payment not fulfilled — gateway rejects request before forwarding to Stripe
- Stripe API rate limit exceeded — 429 from upstream
- Missing required fields (amount, currency, source) — 400 bad request
- Stripe account-level restriction — 403 from gateway
