Manually approve New Memberships before the Subscription is started

New members who sign up for our clients app are required to complete an application and be manually approved before they are added as members.

As part of the sign up flow we've embedded this "application form" process and we are also wanting to still collect their credit card details and do whatever checks to see that their card is chargable.

After a visitor signups and adds their credit card details we are currently directing them to an authenticated "/lobby" that tells them their membership is being assessed.

What would be ideal would be to collect the credit card details and then only when our Member Officer clicks "approved" to then charge the card and start the subscription and give proper member access.

Please suggest how might we best adjust jumpstart handle the delayed first charge of the credit card to only occur after manual approval. Specifically we are collecting payments with just Stripe to begin with.

Thanks

You'd need to update the Subscription controller so it saves the card and then does not subscribe them. You'd need to write a new database model that you'd create and notify admins about it. Then once approved, you can create the subscription.
