Using your Virtual Card to purchase a resource

Not made a request yet? Head to our help article on how to make a virtual card request.

Once you've made your request, it then will need to be approved by your manager. When that happens, you'll be all set to get your one-off virtual card details, which you can use to purchase your resource anywhere that debit cards are accepted.

Each request you make has unique card details. If you need to make several requests, you should create each one of these individually. When you use a card, it will then expire and any unused funds will be returned to your personal learning budget.

Once it's been approved by your manager, you'll receive an email with a link to your unique debit card details. From here you can access your unique card details.

Head to the website where you can purchase your resource. We've made the easy for you by including the link you shared with your card details.

👉 If you're ordering a physical resource, make sure to enter your delivery address and billing address mentioned in the virtual card.

Go through the regular payment process on the merchants' site and when you get to payment options, enter the details for your one-off virtual card.

What you'll need;

As an additional security step, Stripe may perform a security check during transactions. They will ask you to "Select a recent payment you've made with this card from the list." Please be aware that the listed transactions do not relate to your Virtual Card.

To proceed, select the option that says, "I don't recognize any of these transactions." This selection will allow your payment to proceed without any issue.

By following these steps, you'll successfully complete your purchase using your Virtual Card.

Please hold onto your receipt so that you can share it with your admin if required.
