Hi there. Have you taken a look at Subscription?

[dapper tiger]

Hey orakaro, the only thing is that it won't be a regular basis. They can sign up some weeks and not some weeks. I would want it to feel more like a one time payment

[warm coral]

I see. Capture and holding also sounds like a reasonable approach. Where do you read the 7 days limit?

[dapper tiger]

I talked to a sales rep and they mentioned a 7 day limit

Do you think extended authorizations would work?

Where they commit to paying a set amount and I can capture down the line (end of the week)?

[warm coral]

Yes looks promising

But that's for Terminal

Do you use terminal?

[dapper tiger]

oh shoot no i dont

is there a online alternative for extended authorization?

[warm coral]

A potential workaround is creating a new authorization before releasing the old one when it's approaching 7 days. It will ensure you have a guaranteed auth at any given time.

Downside is that the funds are likely held twice for a few days on some banks as releasing an authorization is not always instantaneous.

[dapper tiger]

ahh got it, I don't if I would want to do that

or what do you suggest, is that fine to do?

[warm coral]

It's fine. It's only a workaround with some downsides

[dapper tiger]

and to create a new authorization, do I need teh customers permission or can I automatically do that?
