Use this endpoint to create a bulk shipping group
Note: This endpoint is specifically required for US Apple Pay BIN cards. Other card bins do not need to call this API when issuing physical cards.
Batch Shipping Cutoff Time
Please note: Our upstream card issuer has a 12 PM UTC cutoff time for processing batch shipments of physical cards. Orders created after this cutoff will be processed in the next day’s batch.
How It Works
- Orders placed before 12 PM UTC will be grouped into the same shipping batch (if they share the same
bulkShippingGroupId). - Orders placed after 12 PM UTC will be included in the next day’s shipping batch.
Example
Imagine you have three card orders:
1. Card A
bulkShippingGroupId = XXX- Created before 12 PM UTC
2. Card B
bulkShippingGroupId = XXX- Created before 12 PM UTC
Result: Card A and Card B will be shipped together in the same batch.
3. Card C
bulkShippingGroupId = XXX- Created after 12 PM UTC
Result: Card C will be shipped in a separate batch the next day.
Key Notes
- To ensure multiple card orders are shipped together, make sure they are created before the 12 PM UTC cutoff time on the same day.
- Any orders created after the cutoff time will automatically roll over to the next day's batch.
