Hello, can you tell me more about how you want this waitlist to work? Like do you want to hold funds until some trigger? Or maybe save a payment method and then charge it later based on that trigger?

basically we have a registration where they user will use Stripe checkout to complete payment ... however, when the tournament bracket is full, there's a waitlist for users to signup
if another team drops out ... the user will move up
we dont want to take payment unless they're in the tournament
spark nexus
Gotcha, and you don't even want to hold any funds before then? And are you automatically charging the payment method when the person comes off of the waitlist, or does the person get a notification and then manually reaffirm that they want to join the tournament?
sharp fog
they get a notification
then confirm
we just dont want to do a refund
if we can hold it that would be nice

Gotcha in that case you can follow this guide https://docs.stripe.com/payments/save-and-reuse
or this one https://docs.stripe.com/payments/accept-a-payment-deferred?platform=web&type=setup
spark nexus
And you can turn it in to a hold by passing capture_mode='manual' when creating your payment intent like in this doc. I think that would make a lot of sense in your usecase as releasing a hold is lighter weight than giving a refund https://docs.stripe.com/payments/place-a-hold-on-a-payment-method#authorize-only
