Payhawk Administrators can connect Payhawk to Visa, allowing the platform to receive authorization and settlement data for cardholder transactions. This connection enables seamless transaction data synchronization and management within Payhawk.
The recommended way
Connecting the two systems happens automatically when a Payhawk Administrator at your company links the first corporate Visa card to Payhawk.
Only Payhawk Administrators can perform this initial linking. To do so, go to the Payhawk Dashboard, click on Link a card, and follow the prompts. Alternatively, you can go to Cards > Linked cards and click on New to link the first corporate card.
Once the first Visa card has been linked by a Payhawk Administrator, all cardholders at the company can individually link their own Visa cards from Cards > Linked cards.
Connecting the two systems
To explicitly authenticate Visa with Payhawk from Settings > Integrations is also supported:
In the Payhawk web portal, go to the Settings > Integrations > Available integrations > Card linking tab.
In the Visa field, click on Connect and, then, on Continue.
On the next screen, you'll need to check whether your Visa cards are eligible for individual or bulk card linking. Look for your bank in the drop-down menu.
If your bank is not included in the list of options:
Click on I don't see my bank in the list.
Next, provide the required verification data and click on Continue.
On the success screen, select Link your first card. As a result, you'll be redirected to the Cards app to link your card individually.
If your bank is included in the options:
Click on Continue.
Next, provide the required RPIC verification data and click on Continue. For more information, see Payhawk's Issuer guide for the required setup.
On the success screen, select Assign. As a result, you'll be redirected to the Cards app to assign the bulk-linked cards to their proper cardholders.
If you've successfully linked your Visa card in Payhawk and want to add another corporate card from a different bank, you can enroll that card too without the need to repeat the Visa integration process.
Disconnecting Visa from Payhawk
Disconnecting Visa from the Payhawk system will not close any linked Visa cards in Payhawk. However, you won't be able to link new Visa cards.
To disconnect Payhawk from Visa:
In the Payhawk web portal, go to Settings > Integrations > Active tab.
In the Visa field, click on Disconnect.
In the dialog that opens, click on Disconnect to confirm your choice.
