Hi there,
Are you following the guide to manual capture for PaymentIntents?
https://stripe.com/docs/payments/place-a-hold-on-a-payment-method

[lofty pier]

yes, I am

Also read both the api calls for creating and capturing a paymentintent

[gray goblet]

if we must build a function in the backend that caputers it after x amount of minutes or there's a way of automatically doing it from stripe without the need of something which actively looks for payment intents that needs to be caputured.
You need to capture the amount using PaymentIntent API in your integration, that can't be done automatically by Stripe:
