# One-time charges
If you would like to make a one-time charge against a customer, you may use the charge
method on a billable model
instance.
Leveraging Mollie's recurring features (opens new window), Cashier's one-time charge features work similar to the subscription features:
- Build the charge by adding some items.
- The customer either gets billed using an existing mandate, or gets redirected to Mollie's checkout to perform a first payment. This will result in a new mandate.
- Once the payment has been received in your Mollie account, Cashier Mollie will generate an Order.
use App\Models\User;
$user = App\User::find(1);
$item = new \Laravel\Cashier\Charge\ChargeItemBuilder($user);
$item->unitPrice(money(100,'EUR')); //1 EUR
$item->description('Test Item 1');
$chargeItem = $item->make();
$item2 = new \Laravel\Cashier\Charge\ChargeItemBuilder($user);
$item2->unitPrice(money(200,'EUR'));
$item2->description('Test Item 2');
$chargeItem2 = $item2->make();
$result = $user->newCharge()
->addItem($chargeItem)
->addItem($chargeItem2)
