Coming soon: payments arrive in a fast-follow release.
1
Your agent proposes the limits
When your agent asks you to authorise a purchase, it proposes:
- How much — an amount, in a real currency.
- What it’s for — a plain-language statement of what the mandate covers, plus any conditions attached to it (a price ceiling, which sellers qualify, a delivery deadline).
- How long it lasts — an expiry. After that point, the mandate can no longer be used, even if it was never fully spent.
2
You review and sign
You see the amount, the statement, and the expiry together before you approve — see Approve or decline a purchase for where that happens on each surface.
3
The limits are fixed
Once you sign, those three things are set. Your agent cannot raise the amount, widen what the mandate covers, or extend the expiry after the fact — it can only come back and ask you for a new mandate.
A spending mandate covers a purchase your agent makes as an errand. Sumvin is a Visa Intelligent Commerce Launch Partner, and errands are built on Visa Intelligent Commerce. Payments aren’t part of this preview: they arrive in a fast-follow release, with its own waitlist. Other ways of moving money aren’t part of this yet.
