Hi @jarosen ! Yes, bulk issuance for Account Cards, including credit cards, is supported. Marqeta provides a feature that allows customers to manage bulk card orders. This can be done directly or by creating custom groupings of specialized individual card orders. The bulk issuance endpoint /bulkissuances can be used with card products that are set to have bulk shipping enabled.

There are two basic options when it comes to leveraging this endpoint for card orders:

  1. Create a group of cards directly using /bulkissuances (with "card_allocation" > 0). This is useful if names on cards follow a standard format. All cards within a given bulkissuances object will be shipped to the same location.
  2. Create a bulk issuance object as a container for individual card orders (with "card_allocation" = 0). Here, a bulk issuance object is created as a mechanism to group or customize a set of individual card orders.
