Do you mean you would like to authorise the payment first, then capture it later?
worn wren
yes
shy dew
This is possible if the payment methods such as card support manual capture. You may refer to the guide here to place a hold on the payment: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/place-a-hold-on-a-payment-method

I need to hold $1 initially and then I need to charge full order amount.
What's the best way to handle this senario?
With above method you suggested, I will be able to make hold on $1 but then I won't be able to charge customer full order amount.
?
shy dew
Why would you want to hold $1?
worn wren
I want to make sure it's an actual customer before allow them to place an order
shy dew
If the purpose is to save the payment method, you can save it using SetupIntent that doesn't require holding the payment: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/save-and-reuse

What's ...
This is the main purpose
shy dew
I need to hold $1 initially and then I need to charge full order amount.
If this is the case, the recommended steps will be:
- Place the hold with Payment Intent of $1 and save the payment method at the same time:
- Place a hold: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/place-a-hold-on-a-payment-method
- Save a payment method https://stripe.com/docs/payments/save-during-payment
- When you are ready to charge, cancel the Payment Intent with $1 and create the new Payment Intent with final amount on saved payment method

So I need to pass
[
'capture_method' => 'manual',
'setup_future_usage' => 'off_session'
]
while creating the payment intent right?
shy dew
yup! in addition, you'd need to create customer and set customer ID in customer in Payment Intent creation request in order to use the saved payment method in the future
worn wren
so guest customer won't work in that case?
shy dew
yup, guest customer won't work
worn wren
ok thanks for the help
shy dew
No problem! Happy to help 😄

If we have a payment method saved for later use, and we try to charge the customer, does that require authentication?
How to deal with that?
shy dew
When you set off_session: true in the next Payment Intent payment, Stripe will inform the issuer that the customer is not present to perform authentication. Authentication may not be required mostly. However, if the issuer insists on having authentication, you should bring customer back to perform it
worn wren
So it will throw an error on backend right?

shy dew
No, it won't throw error. The payment intent status will be in requires_action for you to bring the customer back to complete authentication
worn wren
ok

Not with an off_session: true payment. It'll transition to requires_payment_method
