Application logic inside class or inside model?

Or you could have getStatus and getErrorMessage methods in your Payment class and use

Code:

$z->chargeCard();

if($z->getStatus() == 'success')
{
    echo 'Payment complete';
    // further logic pertaining to a successful payment..
}
else
{
    echo $z->getErrorMessage();
    // further logic pertaining to an failed payment..
}

This way the determination of sucsess/failure and the content of the error is encapsulated in the Payment class and the action taken dependant on the result of the chargeCard method is in the model.
