hello! Can you explain more on why you would want to do that?

[midnight tiger]

we want to do that in order to check if a credit card is valid. just to see if credit card is good enough to perform $1 charge

[autumn pumice]

That's something that is strongly discouraged. Card networks don't like that. You shouldn't be authorizing if you don't intend to capture.

Stripe does help check if a card is valid without a charge if you use SetupIntents - either via a card validation or using ML to predict if the card is valid

[midnight tiger]

can you tell me what are the best practices for validating a card. send a link maybe

[autumn pumice]

Generally, if you're saving a card for future use, use a SetupIntent. Stripe will handle most stuff for you :

• https://docs.stripe.com/payments/save-and-reuse
• https://support.stripe.com/questions/check-if-a-card-is-valid-without-a-charge

If you're already collecting a payment, save the card at the same time :

• https://docs.stripe.com/payments/save-during-payment

[midnight tiger]

ok, thank you, but regardless

I do need to know how to put a hold of $amount

for example if a customer paid for a pizza in my store, but then turned out that type of pizza is out of stock
