Can you elaborate on the flow you want a bit more? I am not familiar with that rental model, unfortunately.

#

You can set up payment methods to be charged later with this guide https://stripe.com/docs/payments/save-and-reuse

#

That will help you make sure you have a valid payment method on file. Unfortunately there is not really a way to charge one cent and update that amount to be higher later

#

You can hold funds on a card and charge that amount or less if that makes sense https://stripe.com/docs/payments/capture-later

Place a hold on a card

Separate authorization and capture to create a charge now, but capture funds later.

Cindy goes to the basketball court and sees a locker with a basketball in it. She sees the QR, and scans where’s she’s then taken to our page. She sees that this basketball costs $2/hr. She decides to try it and proceeds to rent it out. Since we don’t know how long she will be renting we need a way to have a card ready to charge the final price so she can not run off with the basketball and get around a penalty fee. Is this aligned with your links above?

#

Bear in mind anything could be in these lockers with different prices and some may have an upfront fee plus a time-based fee.

That is helpful. Either of those options will be viable, it depends on what makes the most sense for you and your users. You can either
a) Place a hold for the up front fee + $2 * the maximum time a ball can be rented + the fee for not returning it and then capture the final amount once you know it

#

Or b) You can collect and save their payment method info up front and create the PaymentIntent once you know the full amount.
