Updated this week

Prerequisites

Before using CorPay Cards in ProcureDesk, make sure:

  • Your organization is subscribed to ProcureDesk Virtual Cards

  • Your account has been set up for CorPay Cards

If your organization is not subscribed but is interested in using ProcureDesk Virtual Cards, please reach out to your ProcureDesk Account Manager to enable this feature.


Overview

CorPay Cards in ProcureDesk allow you to pay vendors using Virtual Cards or Physical Cards that are generated and controlled directly from ProcureDesk.

Cards can be:

  • Automatically generated after a requisition/order is approved, or

  • Manually created directly from the Cards section

This gives finance teams strong control over spending while keeping the requester experience simple.


How Requesters Use CorPay Cards

For requesters, the process remains mostly the same.

When creating a requisition/order:

  • Requesters continue to submit purchase requests as usual

  • Under Payment Method, they will see a new option: ProcureDesk Virtual Card

When this option is selected:

  • The system automatically generates a virtual card after the requisition/order is approved

  • No additional action is required from the requester


What Happens After Requisition Approval

Once a requisition with ProcureDesk Virtual Card is approved:

  • A virtual card is generated automatically

  • The card appears under Pay → Cards

  • Card details are emailed to the designated recipient

Finance teams can track issued cards without manual intervention.


Viewing Issued Cards and Transactions

Navigate to Pay → Cards to:

  • View all issued virtual and physical cards

  • Click into a card to see its details

  • View transactions made on each card

Each card shows:

  • Card limits

  • Expiration date

  • Transaction history (if the card has been used)


Transaction Limits and Expiration Rules

When a card is requested or created, two important controls are applied:

Number of Transactions

  • By default, cards are set for one-time use

  • If multiple transactions are needed, the allowed number can be specified

  • Once the transaction limit is reached, the card is automatically blocked

Expiration Date

  • You can define when the card should expire

  • The card will be blocked automatically after the expiration date

⏱️ The card becomes inactive when either the transaction limit or expiration date is reached — whichever comes first.


Creating Cards Without a Requisition

In addition to requisition-based issuance, cards can also be created manually.

From Pay → Cards:

  1. Click Create Card

  2. Choose Virtual Card or Physical Card

  3. Enter card details such as:

    • Cardholder

    • Supplier (optional)

    • Spending limit

    • Number of transactions

    • Expiration date

    • Purpose

  4. Submit the request

The card details are sent via email once created.


Virtual vs Physical Cards

  • Virtual Cards are ideal for online or vendor payments

  • Physical Cards can be enabled if needed and used for in-person or recurring expenses

Contact ProcureDesk Support if you’d like Physical Cards enabled for your account.
