hello! can you share more about your use case i.e. why do you need to hold funds for more than 7 days?

after we create a transaction. A provider need to accept ( capture customer money ) in 6 days (expired in 6 days => transaction closed ). And now we want to extend the holding days as many as possible and so provider will have time to accept and the transaction will never expired.

what industry are you / the provider in? e.g. travel? or...?

We have a marketplace for some providers provide party services ( wedding, birthday,...). There are some customers need to celebrate a wedding party. They will go to our marketplace site to book a provider => A transaction initiated. => wait for provider accepted. But the payment intent will expired after 7 days. We need to extend the days as many as possible. Can Stripe do this ?

There are restrictions from the networks on how long an authorization on a card can be held for. There're some workarounds which you can use for your use case :
- when the 7 day hold period is almost up, place another hold on the card, then cancel the previous hold. Or,
- Take a deposit upfront and charge the remaining amount at a later period
