Details
Joins the platform's ordinary money path at the front. It creates the recipient's lightweight account here and not before — an order is org-scoped and so is the invoice document its payment produces — mints one order for the document (idempotent, so a double tap reaches the same order and the same payment intent), and starts the charge on our own gateway. The response carries whichever credential the chosen rail needs: client_token is a card intent's client secret for the browser SDK, redirect_url is an approval page for PayPal or a crypto invoice. settled: true means the total was zero and the order completed with no gateway at all. ⛔ Nothing here captures money and nothing here decides an order is paid. The gateway's webhook does both, exactly as it does for every other order on the platform.

action_kind | string | No | setup means no card is on file and client_token is a SetupIntent secret — confirm it, then call /confirm. Anything else is a live charge's own action. |
setup_intent_id | string | No | The SetupIntent the card form is mounted against, echoed back for the /confirm call. An id, not a secret: the server re-reads it from the gateway and refuses it unless the… |
