- Payment intent is create for say $100
- Payment intent is confirmed
- Payment intent amount is updated to $200
- Payment intent still allows you to capture $100 or have the customer re-confirm the remaining $100

yeah we don't plan to support something like this. Doing the $100 -> $200 would be confusing

I am attempting to map out an auction based service, where I want to confirm the customer is able to pay the amount they are bidding. However I don't want to put many holds on a single credit card.
thus creating fraud alerts
blissful hazel
ah gotcha
Technically we could support this for card payments
card networks support "incremental authorizations"
We support it for in person payments for example, just not for online payments yet but we're working on it
elfin maple
is there an ETA on that / what is that called?
blissful hazel
no ETA no. And it doesn't really have a name per se, I guess "incremental authorization" would be the name since it's what card networks call this. But you can't really rely on this it might not ship for years
elfin maple
ah gotcha 😮
😿
there is no way to mimic that flow currently with the current API right?
without creating multiple holds
blissful hazel
correct
elfin maple
do you guys have a dev blog on that status of the "incremental authorization" feature? or nah lol
blissful hazel
no we don't do that kind of things. Really don't count on this for now
elfin maple
haha yea i know, i am just curious
if stripe had like a "coming feature" blog or something
blissful hazel
we don't
elfin maple
gotcha well thank you
