# Charge a stored card (merchant-initiated)

> Charges the saved card WITHOUT the payer present (MIT under the card-brand mandate, citing the original consented 3-D Secure seed). Use `recurring: true` for fixed-interval subscription charges; false (default) for unscheduled charges. Requires `idempotency_key` — a retry with the same key returns the original payin and never charges twice. The approved charge credits the balance automatically (`payin_credited` webhook); a declined charge responds 422 with the payin marked failed.

  title: CBPay API
  version: '2.62'
  description: |
    CBPay is a multi-currency payment platform: fiat payouts and collections
    across Latin America, internal transfers, on-chain funding and
    withdrawals, and KYC screening. Every account holds four independent
    virtual balances — USDT (the operating currency), USDC, BTC and GOLD
    (grams of fine gold) — convertible on demand with swaps.
    Payouts and service fees can be paid from any of the four balances
    (`PUT /v1/settlement` or per-payout `settlement_asset`), and payins
    can auto-convert to the asset of your choice (`default_payin_asset`).

    All amounts are decimal strings in each currency's precision (6 decimals
    for USDT/USDC/GOLD, 8 for BTC). Errors always return
    `{"error": "<code>", "message": "<detail>"}`.
