Hi 👋 I'm stepping in for @haughty rain . What do you mean by "capturing the payment"? If you are using a trial period there is no payment initially.
How are you planning on charging your customers?
hoary pelican
when user selects a subscription plan we are going to capture the payment first but we will not process it till the time the trial doesnot complete. the amount deducts only after the trial end
similar to the OTT platform subscriptions like netflix

Okay you aren't capturing the payment but rather the payment method. A separate auth & capture can only hold funds for 7 days so I don't think that would work. In that case I think you would want to use a Setup Intent to create the Payment Method and assign it to the Customer.
https://stripe.com/docs/payments/save-and-reuse
When that request succeeds you can also set the created Payment Method as the default payment method:
