Manage a Customer Payment Method

Add, replace, remove, or set the default payment method for a customer.

Purpose

Add, replace, remove, or set the default payment method for a customer.

Before you begin

  • Confirm the customer’s identity and authorization.
  • Never record full card numbers or security codes.
  • Check whether the customer has active subscriptions or pending payments.

Procedure

  1. Open Customers, search for the customer, and open the profile. Step 1: Open the customer record
  2. Open the payment methods section and select Add payment method when adding a card. Step 2: Open payment methods
  3. Complete the secure card form and save it; use the card ending and brand to verify the result. Step 3: Complete the secure card form
  4. Select Set as default when future billing should use the new method. Step 4: Set the default method
  5. Select Remove only after confirming no active workflow depends on the method. Step 5: Remove only when safe

Confirm the result

Verify the masked card, default indicator, and subscription/order payment behavior.

Troubleshooting

Use the secure customer card-update link when direct entry is unavailable. Check tokenization errors, permissions, and active-payment dependencies.
