Capture credit card when % at Reservation is set to '0'
To prevent incurring non-refundable fees from Stripe, we've set 'Percentage at Reservation' to '0%' and 'Collect balance at' to 30 days. Our refund policy states that no refunds will be issued within 30 days of the scheduled arrival. When a customer makes a reservation through our website more than 30 days in advance, no credit card information is captured initially. To enhance the process, we propose making a $1 authorization to verify and capture the card, ensuring a smoother transaction when processing the charge 30 days prior to arrival.

while it's not exactly the same, why not collect 1% at reservation.. the lost stripe fees will be minimal vs the lost time and money from having to deal with collections or no-pays.
