No, guest customers cannot be converted into Customers.

Ok, is there any way to achieve a hold of 1000€ for a guest customer ?

I believe it is unlikely, but may depend on how the original Checkout Session was created. Are you encountering an error of some sort when you attempt to do this in test mode?

Not really, but as i'm using a third party stripe gateway for my website, i have no control over the standard checkout flow. I just want the customers, after they paid through the gateway, to get a hold of 1000€ with manual capture if needed.
Maybe I can create a customer via API with the iinfo they provded and then i will be able to create a paymentintent for this hold ?

If the Checkout Session isn't configured to optimize the payment method for reuse, then you will not be able to create a new Payment Intent that charges (or places a hold on) that Payment Method.

It's also important to note that not all types of payment methods support manual capture:

i'm only using credit cards which are fine i guess

It also seems a little unusual to want to put a hold on a card after a successful payment has been made. Are you planning to process another payment for these Customers, is that where this hold is coming from?

Actually this is an hotel booking website. Customers pay for their booking throught the furbished stripe gateway. Hotel owners want the customers to be held of 11000€ 3 days before their arrival in case anything is broken during their stay. I'm trying to achieve this in a side plugin
