Scheduled payments? Reserve item HELP!

Shopify Discussion

Hello, I think this is possible. I would like to implement a payment button positioned below the ‘apple pay/accelatered button’ that allows customers to ‘reserve item’.

This would allow them to checkout as normal, payment info, address etc and reserve that item without paying anything up front but being able to collect payment at a set date & time. Similar to a buy now pay later but not.

I believe the Nike SNKRs site has something simialr, almsot like registering interest and being auto charged at a certain if you were lucky enough to be chosen.

I am looking to create the ‘reserve tickets’ option so customers can commit to purchasing but not get charged untill the date of the draw/giveaway.

Is this possible in the current shopify infastructrue or with the use of apps? They are using Stripe at there gateway so maybe i can contact them if they allow this pre-authorised payment structure.

Thanks, any help would be appreciated. Dan

@DASCPA see every pre-order customization/app discussion ever.
The authorization period is ~7~14days using something like shopify-payments.
Extended periods are available to shopify-Plus plans; not arbitrarily long windows.

In some cases an external gateway is needed but using a different gateway to bypass shopify checkout requires shopify’s permission, good luck.

To do this WITHOUT any payment and or WITHOUT a capture window basically means either showing it as a free product , $0 deposit, using some sort of discount, the invoice system etc.
Where no payment is collected at all.
