# Simulate approve provisioning

**POST** `/simulate/issuing/cards/tokens/{card_token_id}/approve-provisioning`

Simulate a digital wallet's provisioning request for a card token in `pending_activation` status, as returned by the
token eligibility check. Set `wallet_type` to `apple_pay`, `google_pay`, or `samsung_pay` to attribute the token to a
wallet.

Set `action_code` to `approve`, `decline`, or `step_up` to force the decision without calling your
`decision.issuing.card_token` endpoint. When it is omitted, the decision flows through Column's real provisioning
decisioning, including that endpoint. A `step_up` decision also simulates the step-up methods and send passcode
callbacks when the cardholder has contact info on file, leaving the token ready for step-up completion.

### Path Parameters

- `card_token_id` `string` _(required)_ — Unique identifier for the card token.

### Body Parameters

- `action_code` `string` — Network-specific action code to apply to the provisioning decision.
- `device_name` `string` — A human-readable identifier for the device requesting provisioning.
- `device_type` `enum` — The category of device requesting provisioning.
  Possible values: `mobile_phone`, `tablet`, `watch`
- `token_requestor_name` `string` — Name of the entity that initiated the provisioning request.
- `token_type` `string` — The type of payment token being provisioned.
- `wallet_type` `string` — The wallet provider (e.g. `apple_pay`, `google_pay`).
