I would be interested in this. Currently I have a guest who was supose to pay the remaining balance 30 days before arrival. The reminder email has went out. No response. 10 days later another reminder. Still no payment. This booking has been held for 11 months. It is a 14 night booking. If I was able to let Hostfully activate the charge through stripe this would prevent headache of this.

Us this only for US guests and not UK? If its for UK too then I'd love to join as this will solve a big problem.

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.
