# Cards setup

> Get your app ready to issue stablecoin cards with pre-built components

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.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create a Bridge account">
    Sign up and complete KYB in the [Bridge
    dashboard](https://dashboard.bridge.xyz/get-started?=privy). Bridge is the program manager for
    your cards.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a Stripe account">
    Create an account in the [Stripe dashboard](https://dashboard.stripe.com/). Stripe provides
    Issuing for your card program.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect Bridge to Stripe">
    Open the [Stripe app install
    page](https://marketplace.stripe.com/apps/install/link/com.stripe.bridge.cards?redirect_uri=https://dashboard.bridge.xyz/app/cards)
    to connect your Bridge account and activate Stripe Issuing. If you have more than one Stripe
    account, select the correct one during installation.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add your API keys to the Privy dashboard">
    On the [cards page](https://dashboard.privy.io/apps?page=stablecoin-cards) of the Privy
    dashboard, add your Bridge and Stripe API keys for both sandbox and production.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set up gas sponsorship">
    [Set up gas sponsorship](/wallets/gas-and-asset-management/gas/setup) so cardholders can approve
    the spend contract and sign transactions without holding a native token for gas.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose your card color">
    Select the background color for cardholders' debit cards. More customization options are coming
    soon.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Your program is now ready. Continue to the [React integration](/financial-flows/cards/pre-built-components/react-integration) to add the components to your app.
