 Now, we need to tokenize the customer's card, and we will need a checkout for this. The checkout resource is a representation of a payment being made by the previously created customer.
 It contains information such as the amount, currency, and a unique `checkout_reference` identifier that is relevant to your business logic.
 
-For card tokenization, create a checkout with `amount: 0`. This creates a verification-only authorisation without capturing any funds.
-
-The flow is initiated with the [`create a checkout`](/api/checkouts/create) endpoint. It is important to pass the `customer_id` parameter in this step, for future linking to a payment instrument. Critically, a `purpose` parameter is passed to indicate the payment type as **recurring payment**. Note that this doesn't automatically imply further payments from this customer - at this point, we're just tokenizing the card.
+The flow is initiated with the `create a checkout` endpoint. It is important to pass the `customer_id` parameter in this step, for future linking to a payment instrument. Critically, a `purpose` parameter is passed to indicate the payment type as **recurring payment** and process an authorization charge of the checkout amount indicated, **which is instantly reimbursed**. Note that this doesn't automatically imply further payments from this customer - at this point, we're just tokenizing the card.
 
 1. To create a new checkout resource, make a POST request to the `https://api.sumup.com/v0.1/checkouts` endpoint.
