Frequently asked questions
FAQ — Student card

Yes. Our printer network is sized to absorb back-to-school peaks. Cards are produced in parallel across multiple workshops if needed.
Is the card compatible with the IZLY system?
Compatibility depends on the chip type. Contact us with your system specifications and we will confirm compatibility.
Can I send data via CSV file?
The REST API is the primary integration method. For one-off batches, we can process CSV files via the dashboard. Contact us to discuss.
