Single-use virtual cards are designed for one-time purchases and automatically deactivate after use, reducing fraud risk.
For: All Spendesk users who request or manage single-use virtual cards.
Before you start
You need approval to spend, based on your company's approval policy.
When to use a single-use card
Use a single-use virtual card for one-off online purchases where you don't need to reuse the card details again.
Best practices
Request the card for the exact amount of your purchase to limit exposure.
Use the card immediately after approval, since some merchants may take longer to process the charge.
Expected result
Once used, the card automatically deactivates and can't be charged again.
Troubleshooting
Symptom: Your single-use card was charged more than once by the same merchant.
Cause: Some merchants split charges or attempt pre-authorizations.
Resolution: Contact Spendesk support with the transaction details for review.
