👋 happy to help

hi tarzan 🙂

[gentle hazel]

you can request for extended authorization https://docs.stripe.com/payments/extended-authorization

but you need to contact https://support.stripe.com/?contact=true to see whether you're illegible or not

[dry arch]

In what sense ? Are there any steps that need to be followed?

[gentle hazel]

just go to that page and chat with our support and let them know you're interested in getting access to the extended-authorization feature

[dry arch]

Ok, In this link I read that this function is not available for Checkout. But I use checkout to create a payment session. How could I create a payment session without knowing the customer's payment data beforehand?

[gentle hazel]

unfortunately this is not compatible with Checkout for now

[dry arch]

Ok I will ask support about this. But first I would like to understand how to implement it in my solution.

[dry arch]

Ok, but what are the ways I can use if I don't know the customer's payment details before making the purchase in my store?

[gentle hazel]

if you're using Checkout this won't work, if you're not willing to switch to Payment Element (aka custom flow) then you won't have access to this feature

[dry arch]

How would this work with the payment method?

[gentle hazel]

and if you're using a normal PaymentIntent with "payment_method_options[card][request_extended_authorization]"=if_available this will only be applicable if the customer chooses to pay with cards

[dry arch]

I'm reading the documentation from https://docs.stripe.com/api/payment_methods/create
and I note that I can provide the payment data that my customer could provide me to create a payment method to associate with him. But how can I obtain authorization to withdraw funds from him?

[gentle hazel]

that's not how you should approach this

especially if you're using Checkout Sessions

[dry arch]

How i can to do ?

[gentle hazel]

forget about the PM create function this isn't what you need

you can setup a PM for future usage with https://docs.stripe.com/payments/save-and-reuse

but in all cases without extended authorization you would have to make a new PI with manual capture each 7 days using the PM you created with the SetupIntent

and it won't be a good idea to do so

customers will see on their bank account each 7 days a new request to authorize and might not understand what's happening

[dry arch]

But, what if I wanted to change my approach. No longer using Checkout Session. How can I set the flow?

[gentle hazel]

you contact https://support.stripe.com/?contact=true you ask whether you're elligible for extended authorization

and you follow the guide I gave you first

you create a PaymentIntent with the "payment_method_options[card][request_extended_authorization]"=if_available and then you send the client_secret to the front-end and use the PaymentElement to collect the PaymentMethod

https://docs.stripe.com/payments/quickstart

this will give you an e2e workflow

you just need to add the parameter for extended_authorization

[dry arch]

Ok i will try it 🙂
