Stripe auth and capture

Question

I am stuck with the question that I have successfully implemented Instant Payment Method of Stripe Payment Gateway but now I want change the Instant Payment to Two-Step Payments method because of some requirement.

I'm refering Does Stripe support auth and capture?. They are saying that

Note that a charge must be captured within seven days or it will be cancelled.

but I want Auto Capture Charge without Cancellation within 1 or 2 days if possible.

Help me if there is any idea to do this.

Your help would be appreciated.

Why do you need the deferred payment? Yes, it can be done. – facundofarias May 29 '15 at 12:30 — facundofarias, May 29 '15 at 12:30

https://stripe.com/docs/api#create_charge

capture optional, default is true

Whether or not to immediately capture the charge. When false, the charge issues an authorization (or pre-authorization), and will need to be captured later. Uncaptured charges expire in 7 days. For more information, see authorizing charges and settling later.

So, first off, you would create the charge, as you are now, but with capture set to false.

Then, when you want to actually charge the customer, you would call the charge capture method, passing in the ID of the charge created in the above step.

Unfortunately, there's no way of automatically doing this, so you're going to need to write some code - maybe as a cron job or scheduled task to fire off the capture charge part in x number of days

is there a way to reverse the authorization after charge is captured or reverse the capture process in stripe? – HamsterRoll Jun 19 '16 at 11:59
@Yolanda i'm not sure, maybe refund is the only option there? – Alex Jun 20 '16 at 09:05
after checking you're right refund is the only option. – HamsterRoll Jun 20 '16 at 20:50
How to extend Uncaptured charges expiry time after 7 days? – ashish bansal Jan 25 '21 at 04:14
@ashishbansal You cannot. That is a banking system requirement (which makes sense) between 2 and 7 days depending on payment vector. You have to ask for a new authorization. – Jerome Jun 18 '21 at 18:40
