expanding a little bit on my use case.
I have the situation where 1000 users can be trying to buy 1 unique item

#

so first i confirm the intent, to hold the funds, proceed with the backend process of deciding who gets it, and capture for the 1 out of 1000 intents

#

Surprisingly no, as long as you capture within seven days of holding the funds it will always succeed

#

just need to understand if for some reason, this can fail, and what failing means here

#

awesome

#

and my process is correct?

#

there's nothing wrong with it right?

twin pewter
#

The one way it would fail here is the API request itself failing.

#

At that high a level yeah that does sound like it would work. Don't immediately have any notes on something you should change

violet wolf
#

yeah, just wondering if i'm using the right stripe tools for the job and not abusing anything

twin pewter
#

I think so. I will double check with my colleagues that there aren't extra catches here with holding the funds but nothing is immediately coming to mind.

Hey, my colleagues say that this should work API-wise though they did flag that it could be helpful to write in to our support team and describe your plan for this overall to make sure we support that business flow https://support.stripe.com/?contact=true
