Hi everyone,
I’m exploring whether it’s possible to add a “Reserve Item” button underneath the standard accelerated checkout options (like Apple Pay).
The idea is to let customers go through checkout as normal — entering their shipping and payment details — but instead of paying immediately, the order would be reserved and the payment automatically collected on a specific future date (e.g., the date of a draw or product release).
It’s not quite a “Buy Now, Pay Later” setup, but more like how Nike SNKRS handles product reservations or pre-authorised payments when a user is selected.
Essentially, I’d like to offer a “Reserve Ticket” option where customers commit in advance, but the charge isn’t processed until the draw date.
Does anyone know if this can be achieved using Shopify’s native tools or through any third-party apps? We’re currently using Stripe as our payment gateway, so I wonder if pre-authorised payments could be integrated that way.
Any insights or suggestions would be really appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan
