Hi there 👋 I'm not as familiar with issuing, so please bear with me while I pull up some resources. While I do, can you help me understand what you're trying to accomplish?

#

Inside out environment, we trigger a workflow asap transaction is created

#

I mean, user must receive notifications of that operation, pulling them from transaction

#

I explain well:

#

a user (an employee with corporate card) have a meal or pays for petrol at gas station or checkout for a room

#

he pays by card, he shoud receive soon a notification of operation on his smartphone

#

so he could add more detail to operation: location, picture of receipt, amount and type of purchase (hotel, gas, meal)

#

of course he cannot wait a long for notification, just 1 or 2 seconds

#

I saw that Stripe create an authorization before

#

and then (after when?) creates a transaction

#

@brave orbit tell me if you need further info

#

So looking at the docs, Transactions aren't created until the Authorization is captured:

#

yes

#

I did not found a way to immediately an authorization , capturing it

#

*capture

#

I did not find any methods or service to capture directly an authoriztion

#

#

I am able to approve it

#

but how to capture it?

#

Not terribly certain, but I think the capture is automatic and can't be manually triggered. If you need to know as soon as a Transaction is created, have you looked at setting up a Webhook Endpoint to catch issuing_transaction.created events?

#

there's no transaction yet..

#

I catch (by webhook) the event authorization is requested/created then capture manually immediately

#

Sorry, I've been thinking about this in the wrong direction. You don't do the capturing, the merchant making the charge does.

It appears that this normally happens within about 24 hours, but that some merchants (such as hotels and airlines) can capture up to 30 days after the authorization.
