Multi Capture is a feature for IC + pricing. Normally we only need to the Place and Hold flow https://docs.stripe.com/payments/place-a-hold-on-a-payment-method

Hey @iron kindle - having a look at that, I'm not sure it will quite work due to the authorisation validity windows? We may have scenario as follows:
- Customer places booking for a room with a total cost of $450.
- At time of booking, we take a deposit payment of $150
- Later on (could be up to 11 months later), once their booking passes a cancellation window, we trigger balance payment of $350
Will place and hold flow work for that or will we need something else?
iron kindle
Umm you have like 11 months window for capture?
I am afraid we don't have anything can hold an authorization that long. But generally you can still do a SetupIntent first, then 11 months later attempt a PaymentIntent. SetupIntent doesn't guaratee the sufficient fund, but can validate the card / payment method validity at that time

We wouldnd't need to authorise the whole amount up front
We would just need to - authorise and capture deposit, then at a later date, trigger authorise and capture of payment of balance, does that make sense?
So I'm guessing what you're saying with setupintent then payment intent is what we should do?
And is this the right part of the docs - https://docs.stripe.com/payments/save-and-reuse?platform=web&ui=elements
iron kindle
It is what I meant, but SetupIntent doesn't guarantee the whole amount. It's to only validate the card. What you describe is exactly Place and Hold but unfortunately we don't support that long window
sterile rover
That's ok if the amount isn't guaranteed
We just need to be able to attempt the balance payment at a later date
iron kindle
Yes so you can try that SetupIntent flow
sterile rover
Ok ocol
And just one final question - would multicapture have solved for what I want to do? Or is it not relevant anyway?
iron kindle
It's for breakdown the amount to capture, says you auth 100$ and then capture 5 times, $20 each. It's kinda different
