Frequently asked questions
How can I see all cards belonging to a specific person?
Use the list_cards_by_user tool by providing the user's unique token. The agent will return a list of all physical and virtual cards associated with that account holder.
How do I add money to a user's card account?
You can use the create_gpa_order tool. You'll need the user token, the amount, currency code, and a funding source token to move funds into their General Purpose Account.
Is it possible to register a legal entity instead of an individual?
Yes, use the create_business tool to create a business entity. You can then retrieve its details using the get_business tool with the business token.
