Payment attempts

A charge is the record of the payment due for the usage of a product.
A charge may have multiple payment attempts.
A payment attempt may be for multiple charges.

There are several different ways to attempt a payment, we call these instruments. We have the following payment instruments:

Instrument	Description
Draft order	A manual request for payment via a Shopify draft order.
Billing attempt	An automatic billing attempt for recurring subscription and membership cycles.
Order	A Shopify order, used when the charge is paid upfront through checkout.

Once a payment is successful, it will always result in a Shopify order, which will be connected to the associated charge, updating the balance due on the charge.
