Apple Card activation

I have an iPad and MacBook but no iPhone and am trying to activate my physical Apple card. I cannot find any resources to help me. I can manage my card easily with my iPad but apparently can’t activate the physical card. Why is there no option to activate it with my iPad, or am I missing something?

iPad mini, iPadOS 13

Figured out you have to set the card as the default method of payment for Apple in your wallet, then it gives you options to activate the card.
