you may want to take a look at this step by step guide : https://stripe.com/docs/payments/save-and-reuse

[dull badge]

Is there a flow where the initial payment happens

[robust fossil]

do you mean you want to collect payment and save the payment method details for future use?

[dull badge]

Yes.

Some other questions :

Is stripe storing the card detail after verifying it ? if yes, What way does stripe verify the card details. Does it debit customers amount ?

Also ,
For an existing customer who has made a successful payment, is there a way to convert this one time payment into a token or something. Which I can later use to debit amount off_session(customer is not involved)
