Hi! So you take a $100 deposit, and then charge the balance of usage at the end of the rental period, right?

The simplest way to do that would be to just create two payments - one for each - and you can read about doing that here: https://docs.stripe.com/payments/accept-a-payment?platform=android

#

can we create the second from stripe dashboard? Or how should the second charge be made, because we don't know if it will be necessary

#

What do you mean you won't know if it will be necessary?

ivory cedar May 2, 2025, 5:15 PM

#

So if the customer doesnt need extra days or miles the charge will be 0.00

#

Is the minimum charge $100? Or might they get some of that back?

ivory cedar May 2, 2025, 5:18 PM

#

minimum is 100 dollars

Ok cool. If you're going to charge them again later, you'll need to save the payment method when they do the first charge.

That sounds simple enough. My last question is regarding how to update the charge later.

Am I able to do it in the dashboard or will i have to set something up in the app to adjust the charge?

You shouldn't need to update the initial charge of $100. Instead, I'd recommend creating a new charge for the additional amount: https://docs.stripe.com/payments/save-during-payment#charge-saved-payment-method

Save a customer's payment method when they use it for a payment

Learn how to save the customer's payment method when you confirm a PaymentIntent.

ok and for example lets say there is an additional 25 dollar charge. Can I retrieve the customers payment and bill them from the dashboard or how would that scenario work?

dim vine May 2, 2025, 5:31 PM

#

Are you using API for your integration? If so, the guide shows how to retrieve the saved payment methods and charge to the customer with a new Payment Intent

Ok thank you that is all my questions for now
