Hello
So you want to credit the customer instead of refunding the PaymentIntent, correct?
And are you using Invoices here explicitly?

So, from a business logic point of view, I would prefer to cancel a successful Payment Intent (which is only based on an allocation of the Cash Balance payment). But I am also open for other workflows.

Yeah you can't cancel successful PaymentIntents
That's not possible
What you could do is update the metadata on the PaymentIntent or something to indicate that you want to credit it to the Customer
Then you can update the Customer's Credidt Balance
Which will then be applied to the next finalized Invoice

Ah Ok... but only to a payment intent that is not a credit card, for example - right?
So only on payment intents that relate to cash balances?

Not sure what you mean by that exactly?

The original payment intent was served by a virtual IBAN (= cash balance). If now a new credit is added and there are still incomplete payment intents but again with e.g. "SEPA Direct Debit" or "Credit Card", if it is possible that stripe applies the credit to it or really only to payment intents that are Cash Balance related?
dusk bridge
No that's not possible
Customer Credit Balance works by applying balance to any finalized Invoice

We do not work with stripe billing

Oh okay
Hmmm okay so you don't want to refund the amount but you do want to have it apply to a future PaymentIntent....

Yes.
dusk bridge
Yeah that's not really possible
left hazel
Hmm

What you would do instead is just track this outside of Stripe
Like you can update the metadata on the PaymentIntent you are "crediting" but you can't create a $0 PaymentIntent

Difficult, because we apply transfers based on the payment intents and, if necessary, a completely different transfer must take place, to a different account in interaction with the payment.
