Automatically charge of Stripe balance payments (second payment) for US guests on Vrbo

In addition, given some states, like California, give guests a 24 hour cancellation period, we'd like the initial payment to be an authorization which automatically processes 24 hours later if the booking wasn't canceled.
As it is, we have to pay stripe fees on cancellations which gets costly.

I think this is generally a good idea, but I don't think these transactions will be protected by 3D secure liability shift which we require on all our transactions to avoid chargebacks.
If they are protected then we definitely would like to auto process the balance, but I'm pretty sure the guest needs to confirm the payment to have this protection.

Here are my payment setting under property main settings: 0% at reservation, collect balance at 30 days. Currently, the system template Balance Due is sent to guests on the due date.
I want guests to leave their CC details at the time of booking to create confirmed reservations, then the system will automatically charge the balance on the due date.
