👋 happy to help
unique fjord
thanks tarzan! essentially I am a complete novice when it comes to tech and have no clue where to start
indigo lynx
Can you confirm this approach and advise on the steps to set this up?
yes you're correct
unique fjord
thanks - I'm not sure how to get this up and running
indigo lynx
if you prefer a low code solution, you can use Stripe Checkout with manual capture https://docs.stripe.com/payments/accept-a-payment?platform=web&ui=stripe-hosted#auth-and-capture
unique fjord
my issue is that i will only know the ammount that needs to be captured once I've reviewed the quote and told the customer how much it will be - they then need to authorise the quote and then i can take the payment.
indigo lynx
but you can auth without knowing the amount
unique fjord
ah i see
indigo lynx
placing a hold on a PM means that you want to insure that the amount you need is available and no one else has access to it
unique fjord
great thank you for confirming the approach - ill see if i can set this up
indigo lynx
are you interested in using Stripe Quotes by any chance? https://docs.stripe.com/quotes
unique fjord
i think that would be a useful tool - can i use this in conjunction with the hold function?
indigo lynx
you won't be able to make the hold until they accept the quote
