# Update card metadata

Tokenization Service provides the [UpdateCard API](/classic-tokenization/api-reference/issuer-gateway-api/inbound-from-issuer.md) to update or override a card profile’s metadata.

The issuer backend typically uses this API when it needs to update how a card appears in xPay Wallets.

### What card metadata is used for

Card metadata is information used by xPay Wallets, for example:

* Display card details (for example, the card program name).
* Configure endpoints for transaction notifications and history.
* Show issuer application contact details and links.

Send the metadata fields in the `metadata` object of the request body.

Example request body:

```json
{
  "issuerCardRefId": "string",
  "metadata": {
    "foregroundColor": "rgb(223355)",
    "backgroundColor": "rgb(223355)",
    "labelColor": "rgb(223355)",
    "shortDescription": "ACME Gold Card",
    "longDescription": "ACME Bank Gold card",
    "contactWebsite": "https://acme.com/contacts",
    "contactEmail": "contacts@acme.com",
    "contactNumber": "+33645878741",
    "privacyPolicyURL": "https://acme.com/contacts"
  }
}
```
