👋 what you want to look into is extended authorization:
https://docs.stripe.com/payments/extended-authorization
Where you would set this option depends on the flow you are using.
If you are working with our Checkout Session API the above docs go into how to request extended auth on a transaction by specifying it under payment_method_options.
if you are working with Payment Intents API the property to request an extended auth is here
https://docs.stripe.com/api/payment_intents/object#payment_intent_object-payment_method_options-card-request_extended_authorization
payment_method_options.card.request_extended_authorization

Is it possible to hold for more than thirty days? also some providers say only for lodging
glossy belfry
Extended authorization is available for up to 30 days. These limitations are set by the card network.
chilly breach
do you suggest extended authorization as the best approach?
glossy belfry
Yes I think it is the best approach if you need to hold on to funds. The alternative approach would be to charge the user up front and then refund the amount if necessary.
chilly breach
are we charged per transaction for extended hold payments? or only if the charge goes through?

For questions regarding processing fee's i'd generally suggest reaching out to our Support team https://support.stripe.com/?contact=true
They're much more informed on the fee's side of things 🙂
chilly breach
