[Idempotency Supported](/docs/api/idempotency)

#### deprecated[](#deprecated)

The [Payment Sources API](/docs/api/payment_sources) , with its additional options and improvements, obsoletes the Cards APIs. This request is obsoleted by the [Delete a payment source API](/docs/api/payment_sources/delete-a-payment-source) .

Deletes the card for a customer. Upon successful deletion the `auto_collection` attribute for the customer is set to `off` and a `card_deleted` event is triggered. If there is no card found at the gateway for the customer, this API returns without errors.
