Activities
An Activity is a collection of connected bookings and cards created in the Visa Commercial Pay App. This allows Visa to combine the spend of all the connected cards and show you the total cost of your trip, event, project, or other business activity.
Activity types:
Trip—a trip you're taking for business
Event—an event you're attending, such as a meeting or conference
Project—a specific project you're working on
Other—an ad hoc expense
Creating an Activity
From the home screen, tap Activities.
Tap the + icon in the top right corner of the screen.
Select the activity type you want to create.
Enter a name for the activity, and select the active dates. Tap Create.
You will be redirected to the activities list.
Creating a Trip
Hotel and Air Deployments are automatically linked when the traveler's email address is present on the deployment. Visa Commercial Pay also uses the hotel location, flight destination, and travel dates to group the bookings appropriately.
The city, name of the hotel, or destination airport is used as the name of the trip.
If we cannot identify a city from the booking details, we will use the hotel or supplier name. Your bookings are assigned to a Trip within 30 seconds of being created.
Editing an Activity
From the home screen, tap Activities.
Select an event.
Tap Edit.
You can edit the name or the active dates, or you can delete the event.
Once you have changed the details, tap Update.
Assigning a Card to an Activity
To assign a card to an activity you must create a card first.
Once a card is created, you must:
Select the card from the carousel on the home screen.
