Overview

Laso Finance prepaid cards go through a simple lifecycle: order, wait for details, spend, and deplete. Cards are non-reloadable — once the balance is used up, the card is done. But you can make multiple purchases until the balance hits zero.

Lifecycle stages

Order card          Poll for details       Spend              Depleted
───────────►  ──────────────────►  ──────────────►  ────────────►
 /get-card        /get-card-data       Use card         Balance = 0
 (pay USDC)     (status: pending     details at        Card is
                  → ready)           any US merchant    finished

1. Order

Call GET /get-card?amount=50 with an x402 payment. The amount you pay in USDC is the amount loaded onto the card (between $5 and $1,000). The response returns immediately with:
  • card.card_id — Unique identifier for this card
  • card.status — Always "pending" at this point
  • auth.id_token — Bearer token for polling

2. Pending

The card has been ordered but the details aren’t ready yet. This stage lasts ~7-10 seconds while the card is being issued by the card network. During this time, poll GET /get-card-data?card_id=X with your Bearer token every 2-3 seconds.
{
  "card_id": "O-01ABC123",
  "usd_amount": 50,
  "country": "US",
  "status": "pending"
}

3. Ready

Once status changes to "ready", the response includes full card details:
{
  "card_id": "O-01ABC123",
  "usd_amount": 50,
  "country": "US",
  "status": "ready",
  "card_details": {
    "card_number": "4111111111111111",
    "exp_month": "12",
    "exp_year": "2027",
    "cvv": "123",
    "available_balance": 50.00
  }
}

4. Spending

Use the card number, expiry, and CVV to make purchases. The card works at any US-based merchant — online, in-store, or via mobile wallets. You can make multiple purchases until the balance is depleted. Each purchase reduces the available_balance.

5. Depleted

When the balance reaches zero, the card can no longer be used. Order a new card with another /get-card call.

Restrictions

The USA prepaid card ordered via /get-card is U.S. only. It can only be used at U.S.-based merchants for USD purchases, and physical goods must ship to a U.S. address. For non-U.S. merchants or non-USD purchases, use the international prepaid card instead — see below. All cards are intended for the caller’s own use and are non-transferable.

Polling best practices

  • Poll every 2-3 seconds — don’t hammer the endpoint
  • The card is typically ready within 7-10 seconds
  • If still pending after 30 seconds, something may be wrong — log the card_id and contact support
  • Always check the status field before reading card_details

International non-reloadable cards

International cards (/order-intl-card) follow a similar lifecycle but with different timing and an admin-fulfillment step:
Order card           Queued (admin fulfills)    Ready              Depleted
───────────►  ───────────────────────►   ──────────────►  ────────────►
 /order-intl-card    ~up to 24 hours           Card details        Balance = 0
 (pay USDC)          /get-card-data            available via       Request refreshes
                     status: queued            /get-card-data      via /refresh-card-data
                                                                   (1 per 24h)
Key differences vs. U.S. cards:
  • Amount: $100 minimum, $1,000 maximum on-card (U.S. cards go as low as $5)
  • Fee: 3.8% on top of the on-card amount
  • Fulfillment: Queued until an admin manually orders the card (typically within 24 hours). During this window the card is in state: "queued" / status: "queued".
  • Cancellation: While queued, you can cancel via POST /cancel-intl-order. The charged amount is credited back to the account balance. Once fulfilled (state moves out of queued), cancellation is no longer possible.
  • Balance refresh: International card balances aren’t re-scraped automatically. Call POST /refresh-card-data with card_type: "Non-Reloadable International" to request an admin balance update (returns 409 if a balance update is already pending for that card).
  • card_id after fulfillment: When an admin fulfills the order, the card is reissued and the card_id changes to the issuer’s transaction id. The original queue id is preserved on the card as queued_order_card_id, and /get-card-data?card_id=<original-queue-id> keeps resolving to the fulfilled card, so you can keep polling with the same id.
  • Status values: queued (waiting for admin fulfillment), ready (card details available), complete (card fully spent), refund-requested / refunded / archived (refund flow states).
