### 1. Get Card Product ID

When issuing a card, specify `productId` to identify the card product. The selected product determines the card type, design, features, benefits, interest rates, and capabilities. Your solution manager will provide the available product IDs. You can also retrieve them from the [Partner Portal](https://partner.musepay.io/).

### 2. Create Card Holder

Follow [Authentication](/integration/authentication.md) to set up API access. Then create a cardholder using the [Card User](/reference/api-reference/card-api/card-user.md) endpoints.

### 3. Apply a Card

Once the cardholder is created, submit a card application using the [Apply Card](/reference/api-reference/card-api/card.md#apply-card) endpoint.

### 4. Top Up

* First, deposit digital assets into your partner basic account. In the Partner Portal, go to **Balance → Deposit Coin** to obtain a deposit address. After the transaction is confirmed on-chain, the funds will be credited to your partner basic account.

* Then use the [Top Up Card](/reference/api-reference/card-api/card-account.md#top-up-card) endpoint. MusePay transfers the specified amount from your partner basic account to the selected card account.
