hi there!
by default the auth lasts ~7 days. but you could talk to Stripe support to see if you are elligible to access the extended authorization: https://docs.stripe.com/terminal/features/extended-authorizations

Ok thanks Soma, so no way to "update" the auth to extend it via the API?
edgy star
no that's not possible.
grand sinew
Could it make sense to tokenize the card information and re-auth on the 6th day ?
edgy star
you can, but there's no garentee that the bank won't decline the second auth (not enough funds, 3DS requested, etc.)

Fair point. Thanks for your help!
Does the Incremental Auth extend the auth or just the amounts?
grand sinew
Yeah not sure we will quality for extended auth since this would be ecom sales
I wonder if It makes more sense for me to implement a re-auth structure with tokenized information in our cases that extend beyond 7 days OR go to my finance team and tell them we should just auth and capture funds immediately at the time of purchase.
marsh lily
Yeah those would be the 2 options really
