Please note that it's important to create a customer first, before proceeding to create a card
Also note that it's important to add an amount field when creating Mastercard Virtual card
Creating A Card (after creating a customer)
After creating a customer, a card can then be created using the cid
that was returned in the response data when creating a customer. The cid
in the response data above is 60febd3c-157a-4ae4-aeed-863c5530ec42
. You can either create a USD visa or MasterCard
virtual card for a customer.
Below is a Sample Payload
{
"cid": "8b6b8f8b-8a95-4c1d-9cb3-8ed68238a46d",
"currency": "USD",
"brand": "mastercard",
"type": "virtual",
"chargeCurrency": "USD",
"amount": 100 // required when brand is mastercard
}
On a successful call, you should get a response like this
{
"success": true,
"message": "Virtual card created",
"data": {
"_id": "6399158141664f1c99eedb33",

"updatedAt": "2022-12-14T00:14:57.989Z"
}
}
Creating a Card with Customer data
Virtual cards can also be created by passing the customer object directly to the issuing endpoint without the cid
field. But you can only do this once per customer. You'll need to pass the cid
for other card creation for that customer.
