Not sure how i could structure this actually. Cause if a stay is less than a week, or less than 3 days, everything would be charged on the first day for example

Hi 👋
Are you using Subscriptions or just charging a single Payment Intent?
knotty stone
Nothing yet, we're just now introducing events like home or hotel stays and we're not sure about the best possible avnue
Since it's a complex case, we thought schedules might make sense. Because if we used payment intents we would need to create a cron job to schedule them on our end right?

Hi, taking over as my teammate needs to step away. Let me catch up.

Perfect thanks

I think this, https://docs.stripe.com/payments/save-during-payment would work for your business use case. Subscriptions are used for charging recurring prices for a given interval.
With the above flow, you can create the first payment for charging 20% and pass setup_future_usage: 'off_session', that you intend to use the payment method collected in the future. Then, after the first week, you charge x amount, and the remaining amount can be charged on the last PaymentIntent you create on that customer by passing that payment method id.
After you review the document, let me know what specific questions you may have

Okay got it, so we would need to set up a cron for this on our end
Thought maybe a subscription schedule would maybe bypass this but you're right
Maybe if I create a phase for each but no you're right since its a one time thing

It would not be for the same amount, the first payment is for 20%, then you just create two separate PaymentIntents at week one and then another one at week 2.
