Save Card on File

Topic summary

Need a Shopify-compatible way to save customer cards and charge later for rental use cases (late fees, damages, non-returns), plus automated vendor payouts.

Requested workflows (inspired by Stripe):

  • Authorization & later capture: card authorized/saved at checkout, charge captured when conditions are met.
  • Card on file: securely store a payment method to charge variable amounts later.
  • Connect-style payouts: automatically pay vendors specified amounts on a schedule.

Key questions: Does Shopify allow these flows via its APIs or through an app integration with Stripe, and is there an existing app that implements them?

Current status: Multiple participants share the same need and ask whether a solution or app exists. One party invites developers with relevant experience to get in touch. No confirmed workaround, app recommendation, or official guidance is provided yet; the thread remains open and unresolved.
