# Update program member

> 
<Warning>

<Badge color="yellow">BETA endpoint</Badge>

This is a work-in-progress documentation of a BETA endpoint. The parameters, fields, request and response bodies, and other data may subject to change. If you want to share feedback or improvements, contact [Voucherify support](https://www.voucherify.io/contact-support) or your Technical Account Manager.

</Warning>

Updates a program member's metadata. Provided object keys are merged into the existing metadata; omitted keys are preserved. Pass `metadata: null` to clear all metadata (sets it to an empty object).

This endpoint cannot change `status`. Use [Activate a program member](/api-reference/programs/activate-a-program-member) or [Deactivate a program member](/api-reference/programs/deactivate-a-program-member) for status transitions.

Records a `vl.member.updated` activity. Returns the updated member without the `cards` array. Returns `404` when the program or member does not exist. Returns `400` when the request body fails validation or the project `vl_member` metadata schema rejects the payload.

  - name: Card Definitions
    description: >-
      CRUD operations, lifecycle management, and activity history for card

    description: >-
      CRUD operations, lifecycle management, and activity history for tier
      structures. Includes nested tier definitions (create, list, update,
