# Delete Payment Method

> Marks a **stored payment method as inactive** using its unique identifier.
The method is no longer available for future charges, including subscriptions and one-time payments, but is **not physically deleted** from the system.

This approach allows for historical consistency in billing and audit logs, while preventing further use of the method. Typical use cases include expired cards, user-requested removal, or compliance-driven deactivation.

Before deactivating, ensure the payment method is not the primary one for any active subscriptions to avoid disruption.
