# Execute a payment attempt for a specific account

**POST /accounts/{account_id}/line_items/payments**

Canopy will first try to execute a payment via the account or payment's payment processor configuration, and then store the corresponding record in Canopy's system. This route has been deprecated: instead, create a [payment record](https://docs.canopyservicing.com/#operation-post-accounts-parameter-line_items-payments-payment_record) or [execute a payment](https://docs.canopyservicing.com/#operation-post-accounts-parameter-line_items-payments-payment_transfer) for this account
