If there is a wordpress plugin that is free or cost effective, please let me know

@warped jasper are you a developer writing the code end to end? Or are you using an existing plugin or searching for one?
warped jasper
I am a developer that can write code. But ideally if there is an existing plugin that would be better as it’s less overhead in maintenance.
dusk shuttle
I'm happy to help explain the code. I know nothing about plugins sorry. So if you want to start there you'd want to look online
warped jasper
Ok please explain with code. That would be helpful
If I need to write my own plugin, I can do that
I don’t see anything online that fits my use case

So you want to collect someone's payment method details today and then charge them 3 days before their event right?
warped jasper
1 day after their event
But yes at some date . It could be an input or derived. For simplicity lets say it’s some input that I enter on a user interface for example
My inputs could be user email, or order number and event date. Or anything else you recommend
dusk shuttle
Okay so you want https://docs.stripe.com/payments/checkout/save-and-reuse and that allows you to collect payment method details upfront and then you can charge them what we call "off session" (without them doing anything afterwards) after their event

Does save and reuse come built in with WooCommerce?
dusk shuttle
same as earlier, I know nothing about plugins and you said you were fine building all of this yourself
if you have questions about the WooCommerce plugin, you need to ask their own support team who built it
warped jasper
Ok let’s assume it does that. How do I process the future payment
Can the stripe dashboard allow me to do that, or will I need to integrate with the api
dusk shuttle
yes the Dashboard does offer this. So do the API.
warped jasper
Ok, let’s assume I use the api. How do it with that .
Your help is really amazing by the way!
