Hi there

Don't believe manual capture is supported with Subscriptions. Let me double check though

[molten geyser]

Thank you. I want to be able to do manual captures every month for a subscription and I think another person helped me out a few days ago mentioning that I could try changing the capture method after an invoice is created but now I'm a little stuck on what else I can do to solve this 🙂

Yeah sorry, this just isn't possible.

Just confirmed with a colleague that you can't use manual capture with Subs

We'll file a feature request for this though.

Thank you. Do you recommend any other way I can solve this problem?

I can't seem to wrap my head around any other good measures

In essence it's just a monthly bill that I want to "only authorize" and capture the funds at a later point in time

which is why i went with the subscriptions + manual capture route, but that's gone to dust now haha

Hmm yeah this is tough. I think the best workaround here is to not use Stripe Billing but track your own Subscription and do a recurring payment via a cron-job or something and just use PaymentIntents directly for it.

By "track you own Subscription" do you mean create my own Subscription object?

[ember breach]

No, basically have your own tracker in your database for your customers to know they are on a Subscription plan

So basically don't use Subscription objects in Stripe at all

Going to be a bit more work for you, but don't really see another way if you need manual capture

I see, thanks
