  title: Flutterwave Charge And Verify Status
  summary: Initiate a charge then poll the charge object to confirm its final settled status.
  description: >-
    The most common Flutterwave collection pattern. The workflow creates a
    customer, initiates a charge against that customer with an amount and
    currency, and then retrieves the charge to verify whether it has reached a
    succeeded, failed, or still-pending state. Branching on the charge status
    lets a caller decide whether to fulfil an order, surface a redirect URL for
    customer authentication, or treat the charge as failed. Every step spells
    out its request inline so the flow can be read and executed without opening
    the underlying OpenAPI description.
