hi @turbid notch thanks!

#

you could use Stripe to place a hold on 500$ https://stripe.com/docs/payments/place-a-hold-on-a-payment-method

Place a hold on a payment method

Separate authorization and capture to create a charge now, but capture funds later.

#

then capture 100$ automatically afterwards

#

and wait until they confirm to capture the rest

#

but this hold the whole funds, am i right? Our model is that the users just pay a little, to prove their interest to joining the trip (a stripe product), so the 100$. When the trip gets confirmed they make a new payment of the total - 100$

#

placing a hold doesn't mean they are paying the whole amount

#

it's just a way of clearing the authorization with the issuing bank

#

knowing whether the user has sufficient funds to pay you

#

and whether the payment details are valid

#

ah, i thought was a way of freezing the money

#

this make sense then.

turbid notch Sep 26, 2022, 1:11 PM

#

it does put a hold on the money for up to 7days

#

please do go over the docs I sent you earlier

ionic timber Sep 26, 2022, 1:13 PM

#

ah ok this won't work. Because for example if I put the holiday trip (stripe product) online today, then the user that hold a spot would pay it in 2/3 months

#

i was thinking to split 1 product in 2 products but then it would become a mess

turbid notch Sep 26, 2022, 1:13 PM

#

in that case you'd have to do 2 separate Payment Intents

#

are you going to use Checkout + Prices/Products?

ionic timber Sep 26, 2022, 1:14 PM

#

my idea is to use products and prices because we also need to manage early birds, discount codes etc and i saw that stripe already does all of that

#

but we have a custom checkout flow so i will code it from scratch

#

we need to gather some specific data

#

from the user

turbid notch Sep 26, 2022, 1:15 PM

#

in that case you can do a Payment Intent and pass whatever amount you need

#

you'd have to do the whole "amount" logic by yourself

Custom payment flow

#

ok thanks, i'll start by reading this stuff. Do you mind if we keep this open so i can ask more question if I have any doubt?

#

for now thanks

#

yes sure my colleagues will be here to answer your Q.

#

If the thread is inactive for quite sometime it might be closed you could then ask either to reopen it or simply ask a new Q in the main channel
