Error message

Automatically-collected subscriptions require a payment method to make changes that result in a charge.

Common causes

• You're trying to perform an update on a subscription that results in a transaction balance greater than 0, but no payment method is set.
• If the customer_id against this subscription has been replaced recently, the payment method against it was removed for security. It must be readded.

Troubleshooting

• Create a customer portal session to capture a payment method from the customer, then retry the update.
• Get a transaction to update payment method and pass to Paddle.js to capture a payment method from the customer, then retry the update.
• Change collection mode against the subscription to manual, then retry the update. Paddle sends an invoice for the amount due each time a subscription renews or a charge is made.
