# Verify Charge

> Verify a charge and finalize recurring-token readiness

`POST /api/v1/payments/charges/:reference/verify`

Verify the final status of a charge using its reference.

For setup charges, verification is also the step that allows the gateway to persist the reusable provider authorization against the saved payment token. Without this step, later `merchant_initiated` renewals should be treated as not ready.

See [Payments Overview](/api-reference/payments/overview) for the reviewed contract summary.
