# Create a payment session
<a name="payments-create-session"></a>

A payment session is a time-bounded payment context that optionally enforces a spending budget. When the session expires or the budget is reached, further payment requests within that session are denied. For the complete request and response schema, see [CreatePaymentSession](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/bedrock-agentcore/latest/APIReference/API_CreatePaymentSession.html) in the API Reference.

**Example**  

```
aws bedrock-agentcore create-payment-session \
    --payment-manager-arn "arn:aws:bedrock-agentcore:us-west-2:123456789012:payment-manager/my-manager" \
    --user-id "test-user-123" \
    --expiry-time-in-minutes 60 \
    --limits '{"maxSpendAmount": {"value": "100.00", "currency": "USD"}}' \
    --client-token "$(uuidgen)" \
    --region us-west-2
```

```
import boto3
import uuid

dp_client = boto3.client("bedrock-agentcore", region_name="us-west-2",
    endpoint_url="https://bedrock-agentcore.us-west-2.amazonaws.com")

# Create payment session with payment limits
session = dp_client.create_payment_session(
    userId="test-user-123",
    paymentManagerArn=PAYMENT_MANAGER_ARN,
    expiryTimeInMinutes=120,
    limits={"maxSpendAmount": {"value": "100.00", "currency": "USD"}},
    clientToken=str(uuid.uuid4()),
)
```

```
from bedrock_agentcore.payments import PaymentManager

manager = PaymentManager(
    payment_manager_arn=mgr["paymentManagerArn"],
    region_name="us-west-2"
)

# Create payment session with payment limits
session = manager.create_payment_session(
    user_id="test-user-123",
    limits={"maxSpendAmount": {"value": "100.00", "currency": "USD"}},
    expiry_time_in_minutes=60
)
```
