Help needed with woocommerce (wc stripe) filter

Question

WC Stripe has an option where you can set it to 'capture immediately' or leave it unchecked for authorize payment only. I have left it checked by default, but there is a specific product category, where I dont want "Capture Immediately". How can I dynammically turn that off at the time of checkout with specific product with category in cart. I originally asked WooCommerce support but their response was a little over my knowledge over php and wordpress. I really appreciate all the help.

Response from WooCommerce Support

All settings of the Stripe plugin are filtered. Have a look at: /includes/settings-stripe.php - maybe you can leverage this.

Other than that take a look capture_payment() and how its hooked. You could try and add a conditional that unhooks this for your desired category.

URLs to the references:

/includes/settings-stripe.php

function: capture_payment()

Answer 1

in filtering one of the meta, you can stop capture depending of the order content

add_filter("get_post_metadata", function ($value, $object_id, $meta_key, $single) {


    if ("_stripe_charge_id" === $meta_key) {

        $order = wc_get_order($object_id);


        if (???) {
            // stop capture
            $value = FALSE;
        }

    }


    return $value;

}, 10, 4);
