hello. we are creating a website and were going to use Stripe as the payment. The question / issue that we are having is, we are acting a broker on behalf of influencers where brands can buy posts on influencers social medias. So when an order is submited the payment has to be taken on hold, until said influencer approves it, the charge actually goes through, then a % has to be deducted and the rest be sent to the influencer or their account to cash out later

Gotcha
Have you looked into our docs on Connect?
How long do you need to wait until the influencer approves the charge?
For instance, manual capture would be a perfect use-case here, but you can only hold a charge for 7 days in that case: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/place-a-hold-on-a-payment-method

when a brand orders the promotion, the influencer would get an email to approve or deny it (and i was wondering if thats something that can be done through stripe directly or if we need a 3rd party plugin for that), after which the charge would happen and so on.
would the "Capture" part have to be done manually or could this be set as automatic once the influencer approves?

You would need to handle the email and approval/not via a 3rd party
However, you could hook up that "approval" to trigger the Stripe API to capture the Charge
So you could make it programmatic

thank you, do you by a chance have any recommendations for the said 3rd party to use for something like this?

I don't (nor am I allowed to play favorites on stuff like that 🙂 )

totally understood. could you give me like a word or something that would describe what this tool does exactly so i could look into it? (sorry if these are dumb questions, am very new to this)

You want to just work with an email provider
So that you send emails and then you would likely want to either redirect the promoter to your site for approval/decline or you might be able to build that response right into the email

thank you for your help ❤️
