        **Creates a new payment session for an order and returns a hosted
        checkout URL where the customer can complete the crypto payment.**


        **The merchant must provide order details, amount, currency, and
        redirect URLs. Once the payment is completed or fails, the customer is
        redirected to the respective URL, and a webhook notification is sent to
        the provided callback URL.**
