Payment Profiles: Overview and How They Work

Last updated on Jul 01, 2026

A payment profile lets a company set up once how its employees pay for trips — from the company balance, a corporate card, or by invoice. After that, employees don't pick a method by hand at checkout: the platform applies what the company configured. It keeps spending under control.

How it works

  1. A company admin opens Payment Profiles and selects the legal entity.
  2. Enables the payment methods to allow — Balance, Card, Invoice — and sets the default plus the fallback order.
  3. Optionally adds corporate cards and decides whether employees may pay with their own personal cards.
  4. At checkout the employee sees the company's ready-made method and, if allowed, may choose a personal card.
  5. Personal cards live on the Personal tab — they're used only when the employee explicitly picks them.

Tabs on the page

  • Company — company settings and corporate cards (admins only).
  • Personal — the employee's own saved cards.
  • Archived — archived cards (split into Personal and Company).

Getting started

  • Multiple legal entities? A selector at the top of the Company tab switches between them; your current entity is preselected. Each entity has its own independent profile. With a single entity, no selector is shown.
  • If the entity is missing a legal name or tax number, a yellow banner asks you to complete the company details; it disappears once both are filled.
  • A "Set up payment methods" banner means the profile has never been saved — the platform offers starter settings you can adjust and save.
  • The last-updated date is shown at the bottom of the form.
