Supplier cards let you pay vendors and partners who can't be onboarded as a WeTravel supplier — like hotels or airlines — without ever handling the payment yourself. Just issue a one-time virtual card for the exact amount owed, and the supplier gets a secure link to charge it directly on their end.
How do I create a single-use virtual card?
Once your WeTravel card application has been approved, you can proceed to create single-use virtual cards to pay suppliers.
You can create as many supplier cards as needed. Each one is single-use only, so be sure to assign the correct amount and only send it to a recipient you know and trust.
You can create a card for a supplier you've used before, or set up a new one on the spot.
If creating a card for a new supplier, you'll need to enter their name, contact email and a description of what the card is for. Set an expiration date - this is when the card will automatically be terminated for security. Since this is a single-use card, make sure the amount available matches the exact transaction, as it can only be charged once.
Note: Ensure you have sufficient balance in the selected currency or your main balance — the transaction may fail otherwise.
Your supplier will receive an email showing the payment amount and expiry, and can click "View card details" to reveal the full card number, expiry, and CVV. From there, they can enter those details directly into their POS terminal to process the travel-related purchase.
If the supplier needs the card details again, click Resend Email to resend it to them:
If any amendments are needed, such as changing the card's expiry date, you can terminate the card and create a new one.
Good to know: There are no annual, card-creation, membership, or cross-border fees on WeTravel supplier cards. If your supplier processes the payment in a currency other than the card's issued currency, they may incur additional fees on their end — these are determined by the merchant and are outside of WeTravel's visibility.
Note: Supplier cards are set up for travel-related purchases only. Charges attempted at non-travel merchants will typically be declined. Funds are deducted from your account only when the supplier makes a purchase - if they spend less than the amount issued, you'll see the remaining balance reflected in your WeTravel card balance reporting.
Team member access
Team members can only create supplier cards if they've been granted all three Payouts & Reports permissions. Without them, they cannot access supplier cards at all — they can only view and manage the team member card assigned to them.
