An order refers to card orders or PIN mailer information that are sent to card producer or PIN mailer editors.
An order is linked to a card and is created based on the Product configuration at the same time than the Card is created and depending the type of card (physical card, virtual card) and the distributions choice of that product.
In our solution each Order is identified by a unique orderReference.
An Issuer can retrieve order linked to a card using the API to List orders for a card for a given card : GET /issuers/{issuerId}/cards/{cardReference}/orders by providing the issuerId of the Issuer and cardReference identifying the Card.
One order details can be provided by using the API to Retrieve card order : GET /issuers/{issuerId}/cards/{cardReference}/orders/{orderReference}
When creating a Card, the issuer may want to perform additional checks on bank side before the order is sent to the card embosser. In this case the order is created in waiting mode, the issuer can use the API to Release a card order : POST /issuers/{issuerId}/cards/{cardReference}/orders/{orderReference}/release
