Hi there 👋 extended authorizations are something that we (Stripe) and card networks support, but the availability of the feature fluctuates based on your billing model, the card network being used, and your merchant category code (MCC).

You can start taking a look at the flow here:
https://stripe.com/docs/api/balance/balance_retrieve
but may need to reach out to the email address near the top of the page if you aren't on a pricing structure that has access to this already.

Any time!

So if I have this right - Balance retrieve would be something Stripe is looking for from my site. And it would constantly be keeping a record of how much is still outstanding on a customer order. Therefore, would be able to keep an accurate Open pre-authorization on the remaining balance.

Do I have that right?

Oh my gosh, I'm sorry, I provided the wrong link. One moment, let me get you the right one.

Here you go:
