Card-personalization system
A personalized card may be generated using a card-personalization system accessible via multiple access points on a network. In some aspects, the personalized card may include a physical card having an image selected by a user in a card-personalization process. The user may be assigned a code that may both authenticate the user to access the card-personalization system and identify a position of the user in the card-personalization process. The card-personalization process may include a selection process for selecting an image, an approval process for approving the image, and a creation process for generating the personalized card including the image.
1. A system comprising:
a processing device; and
a memory device that includes instructions that are executable by the processing device to cause the processing device to:
generate a graphical user interface configured to assist in a process for personalizing a physical card, wherein the process is formed from a plurality of steps including (a) receiving a selection of an image from a user, (b) approving the image for compliance with predefined image criteria, and (c) initiating manufacturing of the physical card with the image;
receive a code from the user via a first user device, wherein the code is a unique set of characters that was previously generated by the processing device and provided to the user to enable the user to access the graphical user interface without supplying a user-created password;
authenticate the first user device based on the code in response to receiving the code from the user;
receive the selection of the image from the user via a second user device that is different from the first user device;
based on the receiving the selection of the image from the user, transmit a notification to the second user device indicating that the user is required to select or create an account to continue the process;
subsequent to the user selecting or creating the account:
authenticate the user based on the code to continue the process;
determine a current step of the user in the process based on the code and a status identifier associated with the user in a database; and
update the graphical user interface to reflect the current step of the user in the process;
determine that the image is in an approval stage of the process in which the image is analyzed for compliance with the predefined image criteria;
update the status identifier to indicate that the image is in the approval stage; and
in response to determining that the image is approved in the approval stage, electronically transmit the image to a printing subsystem for generating a personalized card with the image for the user.

obtain the image;
receive, from a secure location in memory, account information corresponding to the account of the user; and
apply the image and the account information to the physical card to generate the personalized card for use as a payment card.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the approval stage involves analyzing the image for copyrighted material or subject matter that does not comply with one or more predefined lewdness standards.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the memory device further includes instructions that are executable by the processing device to cause the processing device to store relationships between a user identifier for the user, a user code, the status identifier, and the image in one or more databases.
8. A method comprising:
generating, by a processing device, a graphical user interface configured to assist in a process for personalizing a physical card, wherein the process is formed from a plurality of steps including (a) receiving a selection of an image from a user, (b) approving the image for compliance with predefined image criteria, and (c) initiating manufacturing of the physical card with the image;
receiving, by the processing device, a code from the user via a first user device, wherein the code is a unique set of characters that was previously generated by the processing device and provided to the user to enable the user to access the graphical user interface without supplying a user-created password;
authenticating, by the processing device, the first user device based on the code in response to receiving the code from the user;
receiving, by the processing device, the selection of the image from the user via a second user device that is different from the first user device;
based on the receiving the selection of the image from the user, transmitting, by the processing device, a notification to the second user device indicating that the user is required to select or create an account to continue the process;
subsequent to the user selecting or creating the account:
authenticating, by the processing device, the user based on the code to continue the process;
determining, by the processing device, a current step of the user in the process based on the code and a status identifier associated with the user in a database; and
updating, by the processing device, the graphical user interface to reflect the current step of the user in the process;
determining, by the processing device, that the image is in an approval stage of the process in which the image is analyzed for compliance with the predefined image criteria;
updating, by the processing device, the status identifier to indicate that the image is in the approval stage; and
in response to determining that the image is approved in the approval stage, electronically transmitting, by the processing device, the image to a printing subsystem for generating a personalized card with the image for the user.
9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising updating the graphical user interface to include a message indicating the image is in the approval stage.
10. The method of claim 8 , further comprising updating the graphical user interface to include a message indicating the image has been rejected.
11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the approval stage involves a manual inspection of the image by an agent, and further comprising:
