Creating an Apron Card is easy and can be done directly through the mobile app and our desktop version. Here's everything you need to know about setting up cards for your team.
Who can create a card
If you're an Admin or Owner of a company, you can create a new Apron Card directly in the Apron mobile app under the Cards tab or on a desktop under Expenses > Cards.
Key limits and permissions:
The number of cards your company can create depends on your subscription plan (up to 10 virtual cards on the Go plan and an unlimited number on the Essential or Pro plans).
A company member can be the cardholder for more than one card.
Anyone in the company can be a cardholder, no matter their role (Employee, Custom, Bookkeeper, Admin, Owner).
How to create a card
To create a card, access the Cards section of our mobile app or the Expenses > Cards section in the desktop version of Apron and choose:
First card – Tap the Get card banner
Additional cards – Tap Create in the top-right corner
Once you've started:
Choose the card type – Currently, only virtual cards are available. We're working on enabling physical cards soon.
Select the cardholder – Choose from the list of people linked to your company in Apron.
If someone isn't showing in the list, you can add them by tapping the Add member button.
Before someone can be selected as a cardholder
They must have their name added to Apron, and the name must meet card requirements. For example, it shouldn't:
Exceed 40 characters
Include special characters
Include non-Latin letters
The name can be updated in the desktop version of Apron.
Card details
Once you’ve created your Apron Card, there are a few things you’ll need to do.
Label the card – You can use a label like 'Eric's card' or something like 'Marketing expenses'. We will pre-fill the label on the desktop version for you, but you can edit it if needed.
Set limits (optional) – You can add daily, weekly, monthly or all-time limits in GBP. Or leave these blank if you don't want to set any.
When everything's set, choose Create card.
After the card is created
The new card will appear in the list of company cards in the app and under Cards section on the desktop.
The cardholder can view their card in the Cards section (both on the mobile and desktop) and add it to Apple Pay or Google Pay via the mobile app.
The card is ready to use straight away – just make sure your Apron Wallet has adequate funds available.
