A card slot is a narrow opening designed to accept a card-shaped object.

In electronics, it's where memory cards, SIM cards, or expansion cards slide into devices: My laptop has an SD card slot.

On doors, a card slot accepts key cards.

Vending machines and payment terminals have card slots for credit or debit cards.
