Creates a new payment.
Before using the createPayment() function, you need to set up your site to accept payments. To learn more, see About Accepting Payments. When setting up your site to accept payments, be sure to select the payment methods you want to offer and set your payment currency.
The createPayment() function returns a Promise that resolves to a Payment
object when the payment has been created.
Creating a payment is the first step in the process of accepting a payment from
a user. After creating the payment, call startPayment()
from your site's client-side code using the payment ID returned by createPayment.
The startPayment() function prompts the user
to select a payment method and continue the payment process.
To understand how createPayment() is used in a typical payment lifecycle,
