# Set Customer Card Limits

> Set per-customer card limits, up to the issuer program ceiling

Override the card count limits for a specific customer. Limits are capped by the ceiling set on your issuer program — you cannot grant a customer more cards than your program allows.

**Limit hierarchy:**

```
Admin sets program ceiling  →  you set per-customer override (≤ ceiling)  →  Platform hard cap (5 total)
```

<ParamField path="yativoCardId" type="string" required>
  The `yativo_card_id` of the customer. Returned when the customer was onboarded.
</ParamField>

<ParamField header="Authorization" type="string" required>
  Bearer token: `Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN`
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="max_virtual" type="integer">
  Maximum virtual cards for this customer. Must be 0 to your program's `max_virtual_per_customer` ceiling.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="max_physical" type="integer">
  Maximum physical cards for this customer. Must be 0 to your program's `max_physical_per_customer` ceiling.
</ParamField>

<ParamField body="max_total" type="integer">
  Maximum total active cards (virtual + physical combined) for this customer. Must be 0 to your program's `max_total_per_customer` ceiling.
</ParamField>

At least one field must be provided.
