# How do I charge my customer’s card?

Zoho Billing lets you charge your customers manually or automatically using [saved cards](http://www.zoho.com/ae/billing/kb/payments/card-on-file.html).

**Prerequisite:** [Associate a payment gateway](/ae/billing/kb/payments/online-payment.html) to the invoice to charge your customer.

You can manually charge your customers for one-time payments in Zoho Billing.

To charge manually:

*   Go to the invoice that you want to charge.
*   Click the **Record Payment** dropdown and select **Charge Customer**.
*   Choose the customer’s card to charge them.

**Note:** If you have not saved your customer’s card or bank account details, you can [request payment information](http://www.zoho.com/ae/billing/kb/payments/card-on-file.html#request-payment-information) (recommended) or add them while charging.

*   Click **Proceed**.

Your customer will be charged for their invoice.
