hey there, lets use this thread please 🙂
You can't use manual capture with subscription invoice payments in automatic mode like that
However, you can use collection_method=send_email and disable auto advance if you want to handle the invoice payment manually
If you have a payment method on file you can use that with the Invoice /pay API:
https://stripe.com/docs/api/invoices/pay#pay_invoice-payment_method
Would that work for you?

can you in a differnt mode? whats other modes are there?
I'm looking for people to pay and for my client to vet them first before allowing them to actually pay... capture
its for a very expensive subscription service
@last remnant So could I set the subscription to incomplete then using /pay pay that specific invoice using the customer saved method the next day?

I don't think this is supported with automatic subscriptions, currently, but double checking

thank you!
I wonder what the use case is for incomplete subscriptions otherwise... or is that just the upshot of products, payments, subs, and invoices all being different things so you get these werid edge cases

@last remnant okkkk sooo I just ran a test and was able to create a, incomplete subscription and use the invoice /pay api to pay with the default method after the fact.. so this should work for us

Right so be aware that's only for the first payment
Future payments will process automatically if you're using collection_method=charge_automatically and there is a default PM set
(I've confirmed that auth & capture is not supported for recurring subscription payments)
Incomplete subscriptions is you give you a chance to collect the payment details after creating the subscription, and for example use confirmCardPayment client side with the initial invoice payment intent
But you can collect details separately (say, using a setup intent) and then use that saved PM to pay the invoice/PI
