Sharing Virtual Card Details

Why use secure card links?

When you create a secure card link, you can:

• Share safely – Send card details without exposing sensitive information in emails
• Save time – Skip the screenshot-and-attach routine
• Add context – Include booking references and messages so suppliers know exactly what the payment is for
• Stay in control – Set how many times the details can be viewed and when the link expires

You have two sharing options:

• Email – Modulr sends the link automatically to the email addresses you provide
• Link only – Generate a link to include in your own customised emails

Creating a secure card link

You can create a secure link right after creating a new card, or share details of existing active cards.

Option 1: Share when creating a new card

1. Go to the Cards screen
2. Click Create above the card list
3. Fill out and submit the Create Card form
4. After the card is created, you'll see the card details window. Click Share in the bottom right
5. Fill out the Share Card Details form (see details below)
6. Click Share

Option 2: Share an existing card

1. Go to the Cards screen
2. Find the card you'd like to share (use search and filters to help)
3. Click the card to open its details
4. Select the Links tab
5. Click Create in the top right above the Links table
6. Fill out the Share Card Details form (see details below)
7. Click Share

Email or Link only?

Email – Modulr will send the link automatically to the email addresses you provide. The email will include your message and any supporting data you choose to share.

Link only – Generate a link without sending an email. Choose this if you want to send your own customised email or share the link another way.

Email addresses (Email option only)

Enter the supplier's email address and click Add.

Sharing with multiple recipients:

• Add addresses one at a time, or
• Enter a comma-separated list and click Add once

Each email address receives its own unique link with separate access limits. For example, if you share with john@anicehotel.com and peter@anicehotel.com, both John and Peter get different links, each with their own reveal count.

Reveal count

This is the number of times the recipient can view the sensitive card details (card number, expiry date, and CVV). They can open the link as many times as they like, but can only reveal the actual card details the number of times you specify here.

Link expiry date

The link becomes inaccessible after this date.

Important: The expiry date cannot be later than:

• The card cancellation date, or
• The last date of the authorisation window (if your card has one set)

Include supporting data

By default, recipients see only what they need to process payment: card number, expiry date, and CVV.

Including supporting data helps suppliers charge the correct amount and link the card to the right booking. You can include:

• Card limit (and currency) – So they know the maximum amount available
• Authorisation window – To show when the card can be used
• Booking reference – To link the payment to a specific reservation
• Guest name – For additional context

Supporting data appears in both the Modulr email and when the recipient views the card details. Including the right information reduces payment failures and eliminates back-and-forth with suppliers.

Message

Add a personal note to the card recipient. Your message will appear in the Modulr email and when the recipient accesses the card details.
