Deposit Management with Stripe — Automatic Across Weeks

Stripe PaymentIntent holds expire after 7 days. For a three-week rental that means: deposit gone, no protection. We solve it with an automatic 6-day rollover cron.

How does the automatic deposit rollover work?

AutoRentAI.com saves the Stripe customer and payment method ID after the first authorisation. Every 6 days a cron job cancels the old hold and creates a new one off-session — without the customer needing to re-enter anything. On error (card expired, SCA, limit) the admin gets an immediate e-mail.

Authorise → Capture → Release

Standard Stripe lifecycle: reserve hold, capture full or partial on damage, release otherwise. Everything in admin per click, with full audit log per booking.

Automatic rollover every 6 days

Cron job runs hourly, checks which holds are about to expire, renews them off-session with the saved card. Works across rentals of any length — four weeks, six weeks, three months.

Webhook integration and error alerts

Stripe webhooks (signature-verified) track every status change. If a rollover fails, an e-mail goes to the admin — including specific error message and booking link. On customer-deleted case: status needs_customer_action with reauth hint.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a Stripe account? +
Yes, your own Stripe account per owner — we are not a payment aggregator. You keep full control over payments, refunds and payouts directly with Stripe.
What happens if the deposit rollover fails? +
Booking status switches to failed or needs_customer_action (depending on the error), the admin gets an immediate e-mail with booking link and error message. The dashboard shows a warning card with all problematic holds.
Can I also use cash deposits? +
Yes. Per booking you choose between Stripe hold and cash deposit. With cash deposit the admin marks receipt manually, on return marks the refund accordingly.
Are the holds SCA-ready? +
Yes. First authorisation runs via 3D-Secure 2.0 with the customer, then off-session re-auth (saved customer + payment method). For cards that require SCA on every off-session attempt, a request goes back to the customer.
How much does Stripe charge per hold? +
Stripe charges nothing for pure holds (not captured) — only on capture do normal card fees apply (1.4% + 0.25 EUR EU cards). For you the rollover is fee-free.
