 * Hi there
    On my site: _[ redundant link removed ]_ All orders are “born” with
   status “on hold”. At this status I want Stripe to authorize the payment and once
   I change status to complete I would like to capture the payment. Is auth and 
   capture not a part of this plugin? : [https://stripe.com/docs/charges](https://stripe.com/docs/charges)

   do not post your link on the post content. You look like a spammer when you do
   that. I have removed the redundant link.

 * Hi [@michaelgimm](https://wordpress.org/support/users/michaelgimm/),
 * You can authorize transactions with our Stripe plugin.
 * To do this go to WooCommerce > Settings > Payments > Stripe. There you will see
   the “Capture” setting:
 * Image Link: [http://cld.wthms.co/WFbCBs](http://cld.wthms.co/WFbCBs)
 * If you uncheck that, then Stripe will only authorize your orders. You will then
   need to manually change the status of the order to Processing or Completed. Once
   you do, Stripe will capture the charge.
 * Keep in mind that authorizations are only valid for a few days. So you aren’t
   able to capture a transaction that you authorized last month.

 * Thank you very much. I had misunderstood this setting, but it is clear now 🙂
 * Cheers
