👋 happy to help

#

yes you can do that

#

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.

#

basically you will authorize the whole amount (nb of students x price) and you can specify after that the amount_to_capture (real nb of students x price)

#

Oh I see. And that real amount needs to be captured before the 7 day hold expires?

scarlet girder Jul 8, 2022, 1:33 PM

#

yes exactly

#

and you can't over-capture

#

meaning that the amount_to_capture should be less or equal than the amount

We need to ensure each student gets marked as paid who was within the session. Would it be possible for each one to have their own unique transaction ID? Just wondering how we could refund for a particular student if needed.

scarlet girder Jul 8, 2022, 1:35 PM

#

yeah in that case you can do them in separate transactions and use the metadata to pass the student Id

cursive steppe Jul 8, 2022, 1:35 PM

#

So the CC would be charged for each individual student?

scarlet girder Jul 8, 2022, 1:36 PM

#

are you using the same CC for all charges?

cursive steppe Jul 8, 2022, 1:36 PM

#

Yes. So one school could have 500 students for example

#

One card.

scarlet girder Jul 8, 2022, 1:36 PM

#

then yes

cursive steppe Jul 8, 2022, 1:36 PM

#

We dont want them to be charged 500 times though

scarlet girder Jul 8, 2022, 1:37 PM

#

you could save the CC https://stripe.com/docs/payments/save-and-reuse

Set up future payments

Learn how to save card details and charge your customers later.

#

and then use it in off_session mode

cursive steppe Jul 8, 2022, 1:39 PM

#

Okay, I can look into this. Thanks
