Custom card

This option is best when you want to craft a unique design that represents your brand.

• Hands-on design sessions: Stripe schedules live design sessions to walk through different options and recommendations.

• Extensive customization: Tailor your card to meet your brand goals. Choose between different card materials, such as plastic and metal, and a variety of packaging options.

Launch your card

The following illustration captures the timeline for each type of card. If you’re interested in custom cards, we recommend starting with standard cards for a pilot launch while we work on the custom cards in parallel. Custom cards typically take 8-10 weeks to produce, though this can vary depending on the design complexity. We advise you on the timeline during your guided design sessions.
