Hi, let me help you with this.

#

You can collect the Payment Method with a SetupIntent and charge it later.

#

Would this save the card against a user?

#

We want to make it optional for the user to save the card for future transactions.

#

It's attached to a Customer object.

#

So we would have to manually remove it after the payment intent is completed?

#

Why would you want to remove it?

#

Alternatively you could put a hold on the Payment Method and capture it later. But the amount needs to be less or equal to the hold. This is not a Terminal article, but explains the logic: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/place-a-hold-on-a-payment-method

We just need a payment method to unblock him

I think this is only available in the US for now.

What do you mean by "unblock him" exactly?

sand fern Dec 1, 2023, 10:35 AM

#

Its a pick and go experince where he just comes, taps his card for us to have a payment method, picks up what he needs and then we charge him after some time based on whatever he has picked.

#

So all we need to do is hold the payment method till the transaction is completed.

As I mentioned earlier, you have 2 options:

Save PM for future usage (they save the card and then you charge them for the arbitrary amount without their presence/off-session)
Place a hold on the PM, but it requires an upper limit amount.

Happy to help.
