What are SpendAble cards?
The card is a VISA prepaid debit card which is used at any store that accepts VISA. Generally cards are issued to a participant or a cost centre. Once a card is issued it works very similar to any other card.
What are the different cards you can order?
You can order a Participant Card or you can order a Supporter Card.
What's a Participant Card used for?
A participant card is for a participant that is going to spend their own money. This card is not available to be used by support workers in the app.
A participant card will have the participant's full name on it (e.g John Smith)
What's a supporter card?
A Supporter Card is for support workers that are going to pay for things on behalf of a participant. This helps us track which support workers are using the card and separate the participant card from the supporter.
A supporter card will generally be named the participant's first name and 'Supporter' as the last name (e.g John Supporter).
What cards should I order?
What card you order depends on who will be making payments
| Use Case | Participant Card | Supporter Card |
| Supporters will pay for everything | No | Yes |
| Participant will pay for everything themselves | Yes | No |
| Participant and support will pay for some things each | Yes | Yes |
