# Off Session Payments

An OffSessionPayment allows you to create your own payment flow for recurring and unscheduled payments. In a single API request, you can initiate a payment and leverage Stripe’s AI-powered [Smart Retries](https://docs.stripe.com/payments/off-session-payments/smart-retries.md) to choose the best times to retry failures to increase the chance of a successful payment. To properly interface with OffSessionPayments, we recommend setting up an event destination to listen to webhook notifications, as the OffSessionPayment will transition through its lifecycle asynchronously.
