Sounds like you're describing an auth/capture flow? https://stripe.com/docs/payments/place-a-hold-on-a-payment-method

Interesting, if the customer looked at their account would they still see the funds? Ideally I'd like it to be as if they actually paid me. Also what is the longest you can put a hold on for?
odd pelican
The funds are held and not accessible to the customer no
The duration is generally ~7 days but dependent on your merchant category (MCC)

Is there a guide on different merchant categories? Ideally I'd like to be able to put a hold on for at least a month
odd pelican
It's not a Stripe specific thing, the card networks determine the max hold duration. Google should return some results for you

Gotcha, so if I put a hold on a transaction and then cancel it does Stripe take a fee? And can I do this repeatadly without raising red flags?
odd pelican
No fees, no. Only when you capture the payment
Not sure what you mean by 'red flags', but not something we can answer here: https://support.stripe.com/contact

Mainly just wondering if Stripe might flag it as weird that an account is making a lot of holds but not capturing most of the payments

A question better suited for support 👆
