# Summer’25 Edition: Smarter cards, simpler expenses

This Summer, enjoy sharper control with improved card workflows, clearer transaction logs, and smarter expense automation — all designed to streamline how you manage spend.

# Smarter purchase intake with document extraction

Employees can now upload a screenshot or document when requesting a purchase, with key data automatically extracted to save time and reduce manual entry.

# Visibility into failed transactions

Failed card transactions are now visible in the card audit logs portal, including the reason for failure and helping you troubleshoot and retry faster.

# Customizable card approval and issuance workflows

Payhawk administrators can set up granular approval and issuing workflows tailored to different card types, such as separate processes for virtual and physical cards. Access to specific card types can be restricted, for example, limiting physical card requests, to align with company policies and control spending. Additionally, single-use virtual cards can be automatically issued up to a predefined limit, making them ideal for one-off purchases like travel bookings or ad-hoc expenses.

# Optional document attachments for fund requests

Cardholders can now optionally attach documents to fund requests, giving admins better context and speeding up approval decisions.

- [Submitting and cancelling fund requests](/help/submitting-and-canceling-fund-requests)

# New Developer API endpoints

New API endpoints support multi-entity management, including categories and custom fields, plus marking expenses and payments as exported.

# Bulk import of master data

Easily upload and update multiple employees, expense categories, and related data structures using a simple Excel template.
