However there is a limit to hold funds in Stripe Balance Account
Is it a time limit or amount of funds?

Oh okay. well it's maximum of week that it would be held
After that there should be a refund if no service was provided

If you can't guarantee to process the order in those limits period.... one option is to collect/save the payment method (e.g. using SetupIntent) and then charge the payment method off session once the order is processed (but you can't garantee the funds are always available)

This might be a problem because my app is global🤔
