HI

i received this

https://docs.stripe.com/payments/place-a-hold-on-a-payment-method#capture-funds

this explain that some key such as
payment_method_details.card.capture_before

can be used , but i cant get the information for this in intent creation
https://docs.stripe.com/api/payment_intents/create

[hushed turret]

the capture_before parameter isn't available until after the payment is authorized

[thorn lake]

what changes while creating a payment intent can be made to make it capture auto matically

@hushed turret hello sir, can i get a documentation regarding that if possible

[hushed turret]

what do you mean by capture automatically? Do you mean forgo the capture i.e. upon making payment, you immediately charge the customer's card, and not hold the funds for a few days first?

[thorn lake]

no,
Actually my use case is, i authorize a payment initially from my customers to create a event and that is holded and requested to capture when an event is completed, usually this takes 3-7 days, now since visa capture has been reduced to 5 days, i want that if the payment is hold, then if it is not captured till 5th day, it is automatically capture without making me to capture manually

@hushed turret

[hushed turret]

you will need to implement such a logic yourself. unfortunately, Stripe doesn't have such a feature at the moment

[thorn lake]

ok thank you for the information @hushed turret , but if you could please tell me the use case of capture_before key and if that can be used in the payment intent

and also if any closely related solution is provided by stripe, information regarding this is highly appreciated

[hushed turret]

like what the doc mentions, if you’re using the API, the payment_method_details.card.capture_before attribute on the charge indicates when the authorization expires. So you should make sure you capture the charge before that date

[thorn lake]

@hushed turret so that means i cant do any such thing with the payment intent creation.?

[hushed turret]

if you want to omit holding the funds altogether then you can omit capture capture_method: 'manual'. Otherwise no, there's nothing you can do with the PaymentIntent creation
