karbi suggested to first make paymentintent uncaptured

#

and then capture it say after i create the document

#

but im not able to capture the paymentintent, when i pass the paymentintent ```js
const intent = await stripe.paymentIntents.capture('pi_ANipwO3zNfjeWODtRPIg')

Hello! Taking a step back, I'm not sure I completely understand exactly what you want to do. Can you outline the ideal steps in your payment flow without worrying about any existing constraints? Then I can help you build that or get as close as possible.

Current payment flow
1. initalize a payment intent

2. User inputs his card details. I have my own payment card, not hosted

3. I finalize the payment intent, and create a document in database

#

I want to change step 3. Where I uncapture the payment (so i know it could be successfully payed), then create document in database, and then capture the payment

#

I basically just dont want to take payment before the document in database is created

Okay, so like this?

Create a Payment Intent
Customer provides card info
You use the Payment Intent to place a hold on funds
You create the document in your database
You capture the funds you placed on hold

#

yes that is what i want

#

I managed to make the payment intent uncaptured, and then i sent the paymentintent to frontend. when user inputs card info and click "pay", i send the paymentintent to backend and then i try to capture the paymentintent, but it doesnt capture it. When i goto dashboard its not captured

For reference, here's the guide to placing a hold on a card: https://stripe.com/docs/payments/capture-later

What you need to do is create the Payment Intent with capture_method set to manual, then confirm the Payment Intent (which places a hold on the funds), then you can actually capture the funds using this API: https://stripe.com/docs/api/payment_intents/capture

I did this ```js

created a paymentintent with capture_method: manual.
sent this paymentintent to client.
When user click pay, i send a request to a route to create a document in database. With this request i send the paymentintent
I try to use this code to capture payment intent

console.log("paymentIntent", paymentIntent)

const intent = await stripe.paymentIntents.capture(paymentintent)

Can you give me the ID of that Payment Intent?

kind wind Oct 26, 2021, 6:52 PM

#

i exited out of the terminal 5 min ago.. fu

#

vivid portal Oct 26, 2021, 6:52 PM

#

You can get it from the Dashboard.

kind wind Oct 26, 2021, 6:52 PM

#

oh let me

#

omg i think i know why... i didnt specify the amount to pay

vivid portal Oct 26, 2021, 6:55 PM

#

Ah, yes, amount is required. 🙂

kind wind Oct 26, 2021, 6:57 PM

#

i thought it was not required. it would take the whole amount if not specified

#

 The total authorized amount is captured by default—you can’t capture more than this. To capture less than the initial amount, pass the amount_to_capture option. Partially capturing automatically releases the remaining amount.

#

no actually docs says that u dont need to specify

#

by default it captures everything
