Stripe Pre Authorize and then Capture

We have a problem with COD accounts. I have checked extensively with your support and Strip's support on this and I can't confirm the answer I am looking for. What I want is to have the customer Pre Authorize an amount at he estimate stage. Lets say the estimate for work is 300 - 500 dollars. Stripe supports the integration for Authorizing up to 500 in this case. (So that is held for 7 days. Then once the estimate process is approved which includes the preauthorized 500 amount. We do the work, and then the installer processes the invoice amount on site (this is where the customer usually disappears) then the amount is Captured by us at the invoice stage, with out customer intervention because it's pre authorized. Stripe supports this functionality. I just don't know how to implement it from my end. Ill bet that I can't. I would be willing to bet that this integration would be popular.
