# Create a card

In order to use the create a card endpoint, you'll need to create a customer first

You can take a look at the customer endpoint via this link [Create Customer](/api-endpoint/deprecated/card/create-customer.md)

Once you've created a customer, you'll need the customer id in order to create a virtual card

Please note that the virtual card can take 24 hours before a user's approval for it. 

The virtual card is free however there is a fee for applying for the virtual card which is $15 USD to apply for it

The below example gives an example of how to make the request using the endpoint

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.pgecom.com/api-endpoint/deprecated/card/create-a-card.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
