# Charge Endpoints

> Endpoints for creating/updating/deleting Charges.

Create Charges for your end-customer Accounts to create ad-hoc line items for Account billing. Charges are:

* Created for either debit or credit amounts.
* Linked to a Product for accounting purposes.
* Optionally linked to a Contract.
* Given a specific date for billing. When a bill job has run for the specified Charge bill date, a Charge appears as an Ad-hoc line item on the Bill.
* Assigned a service period.
* Available in any currency defined for your Organization.

See [Creating Charges for Accounts](/guides/end-customer-accounts/creating-charges-for-accounts) in our main user documentation for more details.

Alternatively, you can create a Charge for a Balance on an end-customer Account to create balance fee line items for Account billing. See [Creating Charges for Balances](/guides/end-customer-accounts/creating-balances-for-accounts/creating-charges-for-balances) in our main user documentation for more details.
