# Order new card

The Card section allows you to create your virtual card in just a few steps. You can customize its name, link your phone number for OTP verification, and finalize your order.

### Step 1 - Name Your Card

Start by giving your card a unique name — this will help you identify it later (for example: *Bryan’s Card*).

Then, enter your phone number to enable SMS and OTP (One-Time Password) verification.

> ⚠️ The phone number must be entered without the leading zero (e.g., use *6 12 34 56 78* instead of *06 12 34 56 78*).

> The number must be exactly 9 digits.<br>

You can also preview your card design before confirming.

Tap Next to continue.

### Step 2 - Review Order Summary

Before finalizing, review your order details and the associated card fee.

You’ll see:

* Your card name and phone number
* The payment provider (Mastercard)
* The fee percentage (e.g. 1.8%)
* Your limits, such as:
  * Top-up limit
  * Monthly spend limit
  * Per transaction cap

You can also view your available USDC balance in your kardpay wallet.

### Step 3 - Confirm and Pay Card Fee

Once you’ve checked all the details, tap Pay Card Fee to confirm your order and create your virtual card.

> 💡 Note: The activation of your card is a separate step.

> You can activate it later by making a minimum top-up of $15.

### Step 4 - Card Creation Complete

After payment confirmation, your virtual card is generated and linked to your account.

You can now:

* View your card in the Card section
* Add funds from your Wallet
* Start using it for online or in-app purchases

### Tips

* Always double-check your phone number before validation.
* Make sure you have enough USDC balance to cover the card fee.
* Activation is required before your card can be used for payments.
* You can order multiple cards and manage them directly in the Card tab.

## 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://kardpay.gitbook.io/kardpay/about-cards/order-new-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.
