# Charges

The `Charge` object represents a single attempt to move money into your Stripe account. PaymentIntent confirmation is the most common way to create Charges, but [Account Debits](https://docs.stripe.com/docs/connect/account-debits.md) may also create Charges. Some legacy payment flows create Charges directly, which is not recommended for new integrations.
