Yes, we currently support authorizing payments with Stripe or PayPal. This means that a payment made on the form is authorized, but not processed immediately. The payment can then be captured or canceled manually later via the Stripe Dashboard or via PayPal.
How do I set this up?
In the form editor for the form you would like to have the payment authorized for, do the following:
- Go to Configure → Payments.
- When the selected payment account is a Stripe or PayPal account, there is an option called “Authorize payment for future capture”. Toggle on this option and you’re good to go!
Gotchas
- Authorized payments are only available with the credit card checkout. If, for example, you use a different Stripe payment source (e.g. iDEAL pay), then the charge will fail to be created and the submitter will have to provide credit card details.
- Authorized payments cannot be captured for Subscription field payments.
