Adds the ability to specify the capture method for card present payments with Payment Intents
What’s new
Adds the ability to specify the capture_method in the payment_method_options for card present payments using Payment Intents.
You can optionally set the capture method to one of these values:
- manual directs Stripe to place the funds on hold and explicitly capture the payment after authorization. For example, you might want to wait until the order is fulfilled before capturing funds.
- manual _ preferred directs Stripe to prioritize manual capture, but use automatic behavior if appropriate based on the presented card’s supported network. This supports manual capturing when possible without declining when it’s not.
Impact
You can now specify the behavior for capturing card present payments for Payment Intents. The capture_method controls when to capture the funds from the customer’s account.
