Hi there
You actually want capture_method: 'manual' here
automatic_async just means there is a slight delay between the successful PaymentIntent and balance transaction being created. But that doesn't give you control on when you capture.
rigid badger
yeah, we actually want that slight delay, not manual in this case. The purpose is to slightly extend the period of time before customers are actually charged, which will motivate them to return our product
dark sphinx
Yeah that's not really how it works
automatic_async causes a delay of a couple seconds.
rigid badger
we plan on also using the capture_delay_days feature and set it to 7 days, although I know in some cases the auth period would be shorter and they would be charged sooner
dark sphinx
With capture_method: 'manual' you would determine how long of a delay for capture.
So that is what you want, if you want any sort of delay at all.
dark sphinx
Ah I'm sorry! I misread you above.
I was talking about automatic_async
Which is different from automatic_delayed
rigid badger
ok perfect
dark sphinx
Okay so yeah automatic_delayed is still a private feature -- not sure why the docs state "Public preview" there (I'll file feedback on that internally). So you would want to fill out the email interest at the bottom of the docs there to request access and you could also reach out to our Support team via https://support.stripe.com/contact/login to see if you can get faster access for your account.
But yeah since this is still in private preview that's why you are seeing the error.
rigid badger
Ok, thanks for the clarification! 🙂 Are we right to assume this feature won't work for debit cards?
rigid badger
ok great, thank you!
