Hello
Yeah sounds like you want to collect/save the PaymentMethod up front
There are a variety of ways you can go about doing that in terms of Stripe integrations
Then you would charge at the end
The only challenge here is that it is entirely possible that you successfully collect the PaymentMethod but then when you attempt to charge the charge is declined.
So you would want to take that into account

hi, thank you for your reply. Is possible to charge everything at the end after the user has decided on the votes?
pure pewter
and at what point it will show declined?
stoic warren
When you attempt to create the Charge it could decline.

i see that it uses payment intent. that means that i need to have an amount. which is not the case. the data is sent at create user data through an API (PHP, symfony)

Sorry
Ignore those last 3 messages
Got mixed up with another thread I'm helping with
When you collect the PaymentMethod you use a SetupIntent which does not require an amount
Then when you charge (once you know the amount), you use a PaymentIntent.
pure pewter
ah, ok. i think i mixed up setup intent with payment intent
i will investigate this further. thank you for your help
stoic warren
Sounds good
