Create a card type for each type of card that your business accepts, such as debit cards, credit cards, loyalty cards, and corporate cards.
Card number validation is required for payment processing when a customer presents a card. You set up the length and range of card numbers that are acceptable for each card type.
For example, some credit cards are identified by a unique starting number, such as the number 4. To identify and validate this card type in the system, you enter 4 in the Card number from and Card number to fields, and enter 1 in the Digits to identify field. Any time a card is used that begins with the number 4, the system identifies the card as this specific card type.
You can also enter a range of values to identify a specific card type. For example, if you want to identify a specific card that always starts with a value of 4200 to 4300, you enter 4200 in the Card number from field and 4300 in the Card number to field, and enter 4 in the Digits to identify field.

Card type name – The name of the card.
Card types – Select a type of card from the following types: International credit card, International debit card, Loyalty card, or Corporate card. Each card ID must be assigned a card type.
Card issuer – The card-issuing authority.
Click Card number to open the Card number form.
Type a starting number in the Card number from field and an ending number in the Card number to field.
In the Digits to identify field, enter the number of digits to use to validate the card. This number should match the number of digits that you entered in the Card number from and the Card number to fields. For example if you entered a 4 digit number in those fields, enter 4 in this field.
To add card numbers to this card type, click New, and then repeat steps 5 and 6.
