# Simulate step-up complete

**POST** `/simulate/issuing/cards/tokens/{card_token_id}/step-up/complete`

Simulate the final step of Visa's step-up flow for a sandbox card token in `pending_authentication` status. An
`outcome` of `success` activates the token and fires `issuing.card_token.activated`; `failure` moves it to
`activation_denied` and fires `issuing.card_token.activation_denied`. Tokens in any other status return an error.

### Path Parameters

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

### Body Parameters

- `outcome` `enum` _(required)_ — The verification outcome to simulate. `success` transitions the token to `active`;
  `failure` transitions it to `activation_denied`.
  Possible values: `success`, `failure`
