Who can create a card
If you’re an Admin or Owner of a company, you can create Expense Cards directly in the Apron mobile app under the ‘Cards’ tab.
Each company can create up to 200 Expense Cards.
A company member can be the cardholder for more than one card.
How to create a card
The steps differ slightly depending on whether you’re creating your first card or adding another one:
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.
Anyone in the company can be a cardholder, no matter their role (e.g. Employee, Custom, Bookkeeper, Admin, Owner).
If someone isn’t showing in the list, you can add them under ‘Settings’ → ‘Members’ in the desktop version of Apron.
Before someone can be selected as a cardholder
They must have their name added to Apron.
The name must meet card requirements – it shouldn’t:
Be too long
Include special characters
Include non-Latin letters
The name can be updated in the desktop version of Apron.
Card details
You’ll need to:
Name the card – this is how it appears in the app. You can use a name like ‘Eric’s card’ or something like ‘Marketing expenses’.
Set limits (optional) – you can add daily, weekly, monthly or one-time limits in GBP. Or leave these blank if you don’t want to set any.
When everything’s set, tap ‘Create card’.
After the card is created
The new card will appear in the list of company cards in the app.
The cardholder can view their card in the ‘Cards’ section of their Apron app and add it to Apple Pay or Google Pay.
The card is ready to use straight away – just make sure your Apron Wallet has funds available.
