| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| clip_id* | string | The clip ID to check |
| intended_use | string | null | Intended use: commercial, editorial, documentary, internal_corporate, broadcast, digital, or ai_training. AI training requires a separate written agreement. |

}Create or resume Stripe hosted checkout for a quoted 4K license. Call ONLY after the user explicitly approves the quoted clip, total price, resolution, license scope, territory, term, and terms. Returns a checkout URL and private order token. The user pays securely in Stripe; never collect card details in chat. Repeating the same quote reuses its order. Creating checkout is not proof of purchase.
| Argument | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| confirmed* | boolean | Set true only after the user explicitly approves the quoted clip, resolution, price, scope, territory, term, and terms link. |

}Start payment for an accepted dataset order. Card orders (proxy media, up to $10,000) return a Stripe checkout_url the buyer pays in a browser; never collect card details in chat. 4K, research, and larger orders return a bank-wire invoice (number, amount, due date, reference) that is also emailed to the buyer; the buyer's finance team pays it. Repeating the call reuses the open checkout or invoice. Payment is not delivery: every order is reviewed by a person at Stockfilm after the funds clear.

AI-training rights are sold only this way, never per clip and never exclusively.
