# Cards System Overview

The **Cards System** creates prepaid cards (vouchers) that you print and sell through shops and resellers. Cards are created in **series** (batches); every card has a serial number and a PIN.

## Card types

## Who pays and when

- The manager who **generates** the cards pays for them **at generation**, from their balance: 
    - Refill cards: card value × quantity.
    - Prepaid User cards: the manager's price for the selected profile × quantity.
- Using a card later does not charge any manager again.
- Suspending, deleting, transferring or expiring cards does **not** refund the money.
