hi there!
you could place a hold: https://docs.stripe.com/payments/place-a-hold-on-a-payment-method

I've tried it, but it only reserves funds on the customer's card only when confirmed, no?
cedar shale
correct
strong mango
I'm trying to make it so 1. Reserves funds on a customer's card 2. Provides some value. 3. if needed Reserves more funds and provides more value. 4. Capture the total amount
But if i confirm the paymentIntent, it wont let me update the amount
Any suggestions, what could I try?
cedar shale
you can place a hold for $100. then later when you capture the funds, you can capture a lower amount (but not a higher amount, that's not possible).

Any other ways? I'm afraid it could jumpscare a customer 😄
cedar shale
no that's the two only options: place a hold, or save the card for later.

What about, creating multiple paymentIntents: if additional value is needed, Cancel the old confirmed paymentIntent and create a new one with a larger amount and confirm it and so on?
cedar shale
sure, but when you create the new PaymentIntent with the new amount, there's no guarantee it will work. it can take a few days for cancelling a hold to be taken into account with banks.

What about: create multiple holds, and capture it all later? Is there a way to capture multiple holds?
