Provision Brex cards in Coupa Pay

Overview

As a Coupa customer, you can set up virtual cards powered by Brex and embedded directly within Coupa to pay and manage your vendor expenses seamlessly via our direct integration with Coupa Pay.

Coupa Card is a virtual card created using Brex’s API that lets you manage spend directly within Coupa across procurement and travel use cases, including tap‑to‑pay where available. Coupa Card is directly set up within your Coupa dashboard, without having to connect Coupa via our separate Conferma integration, saving significant time on implementation and onboarding.

You can use our Coupa Pay integration to create virtual cards for:

• Requests for purchase: Issue a virtual card at the time of purchase request to streamline approvals and enable faster payment.
• Purchase orders: Attach a virtual card directly to a purchase order for seamless supplier payment upon order fulfillment.
• Invoices: Generate a virtual card to pay supplier invoices, helping simplify reconciliation and reduce manual processing.
• Travel requests: Create virtual cards for approved travel expenses, including airline and hotel bookings through Coupa Travel.

Benefits

Using Coupa with your Brex account speeds up your procurement flow by integrating your payments automatically. Coupa Card is powered by Brex and built natively within Coupa, so there’s no intermediary provider or additional handoff required. Virtual cards are issued, delivered, and processed directly within Coupa Pay, streamlining the creation and management of your card and expenses.

Coupa Card also provides the latest functionality from Coupa, including adding the virtual card to digital wallet for tap-to-pay functionality and automated 100% statement reconciliation.

The integration improves efficiency through automation. There’s no API key management or per-card setup required, and payments are automatically tied to invoices and purchase orders, simplifying reconciliation and scaling with your business.

Getting started

To get started, reach out to your Coupa representative to enable connecting your Brex account directly via your Coupa dashboard.

Once confirmed, log into your Coupa portal, and click Setup. Under Payment Partner Connections, click Connect a Brex Account. You will be asked to map your Coupa entities to your Brex entities, and once completed, you are ready to use your card for all your Coupa workflows.

Managing Coupa Card

Once set up, your Coupa card and transactions can be managed directly within Coupa, and your transactions will appear on a separate Coupa Card Billing Group statement per entity. Your cards will also be visible in your Brex dashboard and tied to your Brex credit limit. To learn more about how Brex’s credit limits work, refer to this help article.

Billing and reconciling expenses

Expenses made with your Coupa Card are visible directly within your Coupa statement by clicking Card View > Charges > View Statement. Coupa eliminates the need for manual reconciliation by automatically matching each expense against the official Brex billing statement through unique Brex transaction IDs.

Your Coupa card statement is also available in Brex by clicking Accounts > Billing Groups managed Externally > Select entity. Brex will only show these Coupa Card transactions on your statements and transactions will not appear in your Expenses or Accounting tab.
