Magstripe is typically for Credit and Debit Cards and the Ranges for most common cards are supplied by us, it is only if a Card Issuer puts out new cards using a different range of numbers that a user would ever need to make additions for those type of cards.
The only exception would be for Gift Cards that the User buys that are Magstripe, those would have to of a specific range and length that doesn't conflict with existing Credit and or Debit Card ranges before they could be used.
Barcode Ranges can be used for anything with a Barcode, the Range needs to have the Starting numeric value, no ending number and the correct Length.
Example: Gift Cards with a Barcode that has 9 digits and starts with the number 9

Otherwise there needs to be consistency in the masks.
