The Card management page will open, displaying in the main general section. Click on Add New Card as highlighted.

In the Operator field, enter the name of the operator or sub-actor to whom this card is assigned.

In the Card Type dropdown, select Prepaid Card.

Select the format that corresponds to your physical card, such as Contactless Card, Swipe Card, or QR Code. This is determined and supplied by the operator level and is solely for the operator's records; it does not affect the card's functionality at a machine.

Type the card’s unique string identifier. For magnetic stripe cards, this is a number. For contactless cards, it is a hexadecimal string. This will identify the cardholder's card to the device and cannot be modified after creation.

Select Active to create a card that works immediately, or Not Active if you want to activate it later. An inactive card will not process transactions.

After setting the card identity, configure how the card’s balance works. The key decision is the Credit Type this determines whether the card uses monetary value or transaction counts.

In the Card Currency dropdown, choose the currency in which this card operates, such as USD, EUR, or GBP.

This is the most important decision in card creation.

The Credit Type dropdown has two options:

Credit limits control how much money a cardholder can spend, or how many transactions they can make, within a given time period.

The limit fields are the same for both credit types, only the unit changes currency vs. count. 

Check the Daily Transaction Limit (or Daily Amount Limit) checkbox and enter the maximum amount or number of transactions allowed per day.

For per-day-of-week control, open the Weekday Transaction Limit table by clicking the expand icon. You can set a different limit for each day of the week (Sunday through Saturday). 

Each day shows a Status (No Limit, Active, or Can’t Use) and a Limit value.

• No Limit - no cap for that day.
• Active - the cardholder can use the card up to the specified limit on that day.
• Can’t Use - the card is blocked on that day entirely.

Check Weekly Limit and/or Monthly Limit and enter the cap. These limits track cumulative usage within the period and reset automatically (weekly on the configured start day, monthly on the configured reset day).

These settings control how the card’s credit replenishes and whether the cardholder can add their own funds.

Enter an amount in the Month Transaction Reload (or Monthly Amount Reload) field to automatically reload the card at the beginning of every month. Leave blank or enter 0 if you don’t want automatic monthly reload.

These checkboxes allow cardholders to add their own funds to the card at a vending machine. Both are optional.

When either revalue checkbox is enabled, the Max Revalue Amount field appears. Enter the maximum total revalue credit allowed on this card. You cannot exceed the distributor-defined maximum.

On the right side of the form, fill in the Card Holder Details section:

Cardholder Name, Employee/User Identity, Country Dialing Code, Mobile Number, Email, and Note.

These fields are optional but we recommend providing as much information as possible  it makes it much easier to find and manage cards later.

Don't forget to save the changes. Congratulations, you have just created a new prepaid card!
