Complete this one-time setup before integrating the components. It connects your Bridge and Stripe accounts and adds your API keys to the Privy dashboard so your app can issue cards.
1

Create a Bridge account

Sign up and complete KYB in the Bridge dashboard. Bridge is the program manager for your cards.
2

Create a Stripe account

Create an account in the Stripe dashboard. Stripe provides Issuing for your card program.
3

Connect Bridge to Stripe

Open the Stripe app install page to connect your Bridge account and activate Stripe Issuing. If you have more than one Stripe account, select the correct one during installation.
4

Add your API keys to the Privy dashboard

On the cards page of the Privy dashboard, add your Bridge and Stripe API keys for both sandbox and production.
5

Set up gas sponsorship

Set up gas sponsorship so cardholders can approve the spend contract and sign transactions without holding a native token for gas.
6

Choose your card color

Select the background color for cardholders’ debit cards. More customization options are coming soon.
7

Add your application name and company legal name

Your application name and company legal name are shown to users in the card signup flow, marketing, and disclosures. Add both in the Privy dashboard.
Your program is now ready. Continue to the React integration to add the components to your app.
