# Manage digital card LCM

## Overview

Use the NFC Wallet SDK in your digital wallet application to manage a digital card lifecycle (LCM).

Primary use case:

* Delete a digital card from the digital wallet application

{% hint style="info" %}
In this section, we describe LCM actions initiated from the digital wallet application. The issuer backend can also initiate digital card LCM directly with the TSP.
{% endhint %}

## SDK integration

Use `DigitalCardManager.manage` to perform **LCM** actions on a digital card.

Supported actions:

* `.delete`
* `.suspend`
* `.resume`

{% hint style="info" %}
Changes in the **NFC Wallet backend** do not appear immediately in the **digital wallet application**.

Send a push notification to synchronize the digital card state. See [Handle push notifications](/nfc-wallet-sdk-ios/get-started/configuration/4.-push-notifications/handle-push-notifications.md).
{% endhint %}

### Delete a card

Deleting a card removes it permanently from the digital wallet application.

{% code title="Delete card" %}

```swift
func deleteCard(card: DigitalCard) async {
  do {
      _ = try await DigitalCardManager().manage(digitalCardID: card.digitalCardID, action: .delete)
  } catch {
    // error handling
  }
}
```

{% endcode %}

### Suspend a card

A suspended card cannot be used to make payments.

{% code title="Suspend card" %}

```swift
func suspendCard(card: DigitalCard) async {
    do {
        _ = try await DigitalCardManager().manage(digitalCardID: card.digitalCardID, action: .suspend)
    } catch {
        // error handling
    }
}
```

{% endcode %}

### Resume a card

Resuming a suspended card changes its state to active. It can then be used to make payments.

{% code title="Resume card" %}

```swift
func resumeCard(card: DigitalCard) async {
  do {
      _ = try await DigitalCardManager().manage(digitalCardID: card.digitalCardID, action: .resume)
  } catch {
      // error handling
  }
}
```

{% endcode %}
