# Collect a joining fee

`POST /customers/memberships/{membershipId}/checkout-session/joining-fee`

This endpoint is used to create the Stripe Checkout session for collecting a joining fee
as well as any pro-rata fees. A `stripe_session_id` is returned which can be passed into
the Stripe.js SDK to redirect the user to the checkout.
