Integration Models
Web3Card offers two integration models. Both run on the same infrastructure and API; they differ in how much of the card experience carries your own design.
This page is part of the reference of the first version of the Web3Card API, kept here for reference. API v1 does not take new integrations: API v2 replaces it, and the platform today works as described in the rest of this manual.
White-label
The fastest path to launch. Your program uses card artwork from the pre-approved layout catalog of the issuing partner, co-branded with your project name.
- Card artwork selected from pre-certified layouts
- Fast program approval, since layouts are already homologated with the network
- Virtual and physical cards
- Full API access: users, vaults, cards, transactions, webhooks
Best for: projects that want to launch a card program in weeks, not months.
Custom
A fully bespoke program. Card design is 100% your own, produced with our design team and submitted to Visa for artwork approval.
- Exclusive card layout designed with your brand
- We handle the artwork approval process with Visa end to end
- Everything included in White-label
- Dedicated implementation support
Best for: established projects for which the card itself is a brand statement.
