Steps

  1. Enable Stripe Issuing in your Stripe account and complete the required business verification for card issuance
  2. Create a cardholder record with POST /v1/issuing/cardholders, setting type to company and linking to billing address details
  3. Create a virtual card with POST /v1/issuing/cards, specifying currency, cardholder, and spending controls (allowed_merchant_category_codes, spending_limits)
  4. Fund the card by maintaining a sufficient Stripe Issuing balance or configuring an auto top-up from your Stripe balance
  5. Listen to the issuing_authorization.created webhook to approve or decline transactions in real time, then retrieve transaction records for AP reconciliation
