Deactivate or edit a Card

<Warning icon="fa-regular fa-triangle-exclamation"> **Warning – Implement card deactivation** Because card information cannot be kept without the end user's approval, you should implement a way to deactivate the end user’s card systematically when relevant. </Warning> Deactivate or edit a Card This call serves one of two purposes: - Setting the card as inactive, and thereby disabling it from being used again. This action is irreversible but doesn’t prevent the card being registered again with [POST Create a Card Registration](/api-reference/card-registrations/create-card-registration). - Adding the `CardHolderName` to an existing Card object. The `CardHolderName` cannot be modified once added to a Card object. It can also be done during registration with [PUT Update a Card Registration](/api-reference/card-registrations/update-card-registration), in which case attempting to edit it with this endpoint returns an error.

Authentication

AuthorizationBearer
Bearer authentication of the form `Bearer <token>`, where token is your auth token. If your platform is using a [proxy](/guides/sca/proxy-management) to take SCA-triggering action on behalf of users, you also need to integrate [mTLS authentication](/guides/sca/platform) and use the `api-mtls` base URL.

Path parameters

ClientIdstringRequired
Platform's API account identifier, associated with the API key.
CardIdstringRequired

The unique identifier of the Card object, which is returned after updating the Card Registration object with the RegistrationData.

Request

This endpoint expects an object.
ActivebooleanOptional

Whether the card is active or not. Setting this parameter to false is irreversible and should be done once the pay-in is successful.

CardHolderNamestringOptional

Max. length: 45 characters passed to card network, 255 accepted by the API

The cardholder’s name shown on the payment card. This value is passed to the card network for use in transaction risk analysis. The value should only contain unmarked alphabetic characters (A-Z, a-z), hyphens (-), apostrophes (‘), and spaces. Letters with diacritics (e.g. É, Ü, ẞ), honorifics (e.g. MRS.) and other special characters are not recommended (they are transformed before being sent to the card network). The CardHolderName is not returned in the Card Registration object; it is added to the Card object.
