Hello

dry oriole May 12, 2023, 2:11 PM

#

Hello Bismark

granite garden May 12, 2023, 2:11 PM

#

If you create the Payment Link via the API you can set payment_intent_data.capture_method: manual (see: https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_links/payment_links/create#create_payment_link-payment_intent_data)

#

I don't believe this is supported via the Dashboard currently but let me check on that

dry oriole May 12, 2023, 2:12 PM

#

Ohh i totally misunderstood that, So I can run that command with my desired parameters and it creates the functionality for me.

#

And then for the url I put my current pay link's url?

granite garden May 12, 2023, 2:14 PM

#

Not sure what you mean exactly by "put my current pay link's url".

You create a Payment Link via the API and then it returns you the Payment Link URL that you share with your customers.

dry oriole May 12, 2023, 2:14 PM

#

Oh I see

#

So it takes my parameters and creates the ui and all of the necessary fields/restrictions

granite garden May 12, 2023, 2:15 PM

#

Yes correct

dry oriole May 12, 2023, 2:15 PM

#

So I just need to read the docs and pass the parameters I need to acheive the functionality I wan

granite garden May 12, 2023, 2:15 PM

#

Yes that's right.

dry oriole May 12, 2023, 2:15 PM

#

Will this link appear in my dashboard after creation?

granite garden May 12, 2023, 2:15 PM

#

Yep

dry oriole May 12, 2023, 2:15 PM

#

Perfect I appreciate the clarification!

#

Is it cool if I come back here with any questions I face in the process?

granite garden May 12, 2023, 2:16 PM

#

Yep for sure. After a short amount of time this thread will be archived but you can always post in the main channel and we are around 24/5 to help.

dry oriole May 12, 2023, 2:16 PM

#

I appreciate it!

#

Oh I just noticed

#

It says line items are required

plain vigilBOT May 12, 2023, 2:17 PM

#

dry oriole May 12, 2023, 2:17 PM

#

This feature doesn't work for allowing users to pick a payment amount?

granite garden May 12, 2023, 2:18 PM

#

You can use adjustable quantity to allow customers to pick an amount

dry oriole May 12, 2023, 2:18 PM

#

It says line items is required tho can i just pass an empty value?

granite garden May 12, 2023, 2:19 PM

#

No

#

You have to pass a Price

#

Then you can allow your customers to adjust the quantity of that Price that they want to buy

dry oriole May 12, 2023, 2:20 PM

#

Can I start it at 0?

granite garden May 12, 2023, 2:20 PM

#

I'd recommend testing it out so you can see for yourself

#

Easier that way than explaining it hypothetically really

dry oriole May 12, 2023, 2:20 PM

#

Ok sounds good

#

Adjustable quantity seems to refer to the number of items correct

fading vigil May 12, 2023, 2:28 PM

#

Hi there. Taking over here

#

Yeah exactly. Adjustable quantity refers to the quantity you allow a customer to set for an item

dry oriole May 12, 2023, 2:36 PM

#

Ok no worries I can provide those.

#

I guess my final question is is there a limit on how much I can authorize? and can i authorize less than I end up capturing?

Our max charge amount is $999,999.99 so it's that

dry oriole May 12, 2023, 2:38 PM

#

I mean cost wise

#

ah

#

Thank you.

fading vigil May 12, 2023, 2:38 PM

#

You can't capture more than you auth for though generally

#

You'd need to contact our support team to see if you're eligible to be added to that feature

dry oriole May 12, 2023, 2:39 PM

#

So I couldn't achieve a behavior where I hold x amount and say I may capture more based on fluctuating shipping costs

#

Oh we could if the support team deems our use to be valid?

fading vigil May 12, 2023, 2:39 PM

#

You should auth enough to account for the increased shipping cost and then under capture

#

But you would need to talk to support about over capture

dry oriole May 12, 2023, 2:40 PM

#

Ok, but I agree authorizing more makes more sense

#

And theres no limit on how much we could over auth per item and then under capture?

fading vigil May 12, 2023, 2:41 PM

#

Well you have to take into account that the authorization goes on the customer's bank statement

#

So if it's too large you may get a decline for insufficient funds

dry oriole May 12, 2023, 2:41 PM

#

Correct

#

Our use case to clarify is

#

We ship out big medical instruments so sometimes shipping fees may double due to the fact that they don't all fit in one shipment. So we want to make it more convinient than having to reach out to a customer again

fading vigil May 12, 2023, 2:46 PM

#

Fair

#

Yeah reach out to support about overcapture if you want to go that route

#

Only certain businesses are allowed though, but they'll have more info

dry oriole May 12, 2023, 2:46 PM

#

Sounds good I appreciate your support and patience.

#

In this scenario do you think overcapture would be a smarter approach?

fading vigil May 12, 2023, 2:48 PM

#

If you're approved yeah

#

But also do you need separate auth and capture?

dry oriole May 12, 2023, 2:48 PM

#

Wdym by that

fading vigil May 12, 2023, 2:50 PM

#

Why do you need to auth first and then capture second

dry oriole May 12, 2023, 2:51 PM

#

To hold the amount and then charge them after final shipping costs are calculated

fading vigil May 12, 2023, 2:59 PM

#

Gotcha

#

Yeah I'd contact support about over capture

#

You may have to just over-auth though

dry oriole May 12, 2023, 3:01 PM

#

and this can all be done from just creating a payment link right even if i have to over-auth

#

Logic:

they click checkout on our website
we send subtotal, processing fee, and shipping cost, as line items with additional_auth_amount parameter or something like that
stripe redirects to a checkout page with all of that info and they checkout
we can see that in our dashboard

#

On the stripe created checkout page will the amount show as the over-auth value?

fading vigil May 12, 2023, 3:07 PM

#

Yeah

You can set manual capture if you need to here: https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_links/payment_links/create#cre

dry oriole May 12, 2023, 3:09 PM

#

Ok sounds good, if we have to over capture i'd add a disclaimer aswell to avoid people from having any confusion if they see one price then are held more

#

What information would be beneficial for the support team to decide if we are good candidates for over capture just so i can gather all of that

fading vigil May 12, 2023, 3:14 PM

#

Just tell them everything you told me

#

Specific usecase and all

#

What type of business you are, etc

dry oriole May 12, 2023, 3:15 PM

#

Sounds good I appreciate all of the help!
