Summary

This solution article covers the reason and steps to resolve the “Upgrade to higher plan to use this API. Please contact support@chargebee.com” error while updating the payment method of a customer using the API.

Solution
This error occurs when your site is below the scale plan and you are trying to add multiple cards to a customer, which is not possible. It's a feature restriction.

In order to fix this error, you can pass the “replace_primary_payment_source” as “true”(link) with your API call.
