Card

Convert virtual to physical card

Changed on

Convert a virtual card into a physical card and manufacture it. Customer must supply relevant fields for physical card creation including product_id, carrier, shipping_method, and shipping_address. The card token will be unchanged. The card's type will be altered to PHYSICAL. The card will be set to state PENDING_FULFILLMENT and fulfilled at next fulfillment cycle. Virtual cards created on card programs which do not support physical cards cannot be converted. The card program cannot be changed as part of the conversion. Cards must be in an OPEN state to be converted. Only applies to cards of type VIRTUAL (or existing cards with deprecated types of DIGITAL_WALLET and UNLOCKED).

spend_limitinteger required

Amount (in cents) to limit approved authorizations (e.g. 100000 would be a $1,000 limit). Transaction requests above the spend limit will be declined.

spend_limit_duration'ANNUALLY' | 'FOREVER' | 'MONTHLY' | 'TRANSACTION' required

  • ANNUALLY - Card will authorize transactions up to spend limit for the trailing year.
  • FOREVER - Card will authorize only up to spend limit for the entire lifetime of the card.
  • MONTHLY - Card will authorize transactions up to spend limit for the trailing month. To support recurring monthly payments, which can occur on different day every month, the time window we consider for monthly velocity starts 6 days after the current calendar date one month prior.
  • TRANSACTION - Card will authorize multiple transactions if each individual transaction is under the spend limit.
state'CLOSED' | 'OPEN' | 'PAUSED' | 'PENDING_ACTIVATION' | 'PENDING_FULFILLMENT' required

Card state values: * CLOSED - Card will no longer approve authorizations. Closing a card cannot be undone. * OPEN - Card will approve authorizations (if they match card and account parameters). * PAUSED - Card will decline authorizations, but can be resumed at a later time. * PENDING_FULFILLMENT - The initial state for cards of type PHYSICAL. The card is provisioned pending manufacturing and fulfillment. Cards in this state can accept authorizations for e-commerce purchases, but not for "Card Present" purchases where the physical card itself is present. * PENDING_ACTIVATION - At regular intervals, cards of type PHYSICAL in state PENDING_FULFILLMENT are sent to the card production warehouse and updated to state PENDING_ACTIVATION. Similar to PENDING_FULFILLMENT, cards in this state can be used for e-commerce transactions or can be added to mobile wallets. API clients should update the card's state to OPEN only after the cardholder confirms receipt of the card. In sandbox, the same daily batch fulfillment occurs, but no cards are actually manufactured.
