# 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
