Step 1 — Complete your company details
Add your company address and VAT number
- Go to Account settings
- Under Companies, you’ll see a default with your company name
- Click the 3 dots and then Edit details
- Fill in your company’s details
If your company has more than one legal entity, you’ll need to add a new company for each entity to your account.
This will help you manage people and payments for each legal entity and make sure your trips are invoiced correctly.
To learn more about companies, see Add, edit or delete companies.
Add your language and currency preferences
- Under Account, select Preferences
- Click Edit
- Update your language and currency preferences
All travelers can change their preferences on their personal profile.
Step 2 — Set up a payment profile
You’ll need to add a payment profile to your company’s TravelPerk account to pay for your trips. Payment profiles define how and when you’ll pay, which currency you'll pay in, when we’ll invoice you for these trips, and who we'll invoice.
Travelers can be assigned to a specific payment profile or given the option to choose from multiple profiles.
You can have multiple payment profiles, but each profile can only have one payment method.
Most companies use a credit card to pay for their trips. To add a credit card, follow the steps on Create a new payment profile.
Premium and Pro customers can set up SEPA, direct debit, top-up payments and monthly invoicing by contacting their Account Manager.
To learn more about payment options, see Paying for trips on TravelPerk.
Step 3 — Add your travelers
There are several ways to add new travelers to your company’s TravelPerk account:
- In bulk:
- by email
- using our HR integrations
- by sending your Account Manager a list of new travelers
- Individually:
- on the People directory after defining the user's settings
- during the booking process
Step 4 — Set up travel policies or approval processes
Premium and Pro customers can manage their company’s travel spend by creating and assigning travel policies and approval processes for all employees and/or specific travelers or groups.
Travel policies
Set restrictions on the maximum cost, cabin classes, star ratings and booking deadlines for flights, hotels, trains, and cars.
To create a travel policy, follow the steps on Create or edit a travel policy.
Approval processes
Decide if you want trips approved by someone in your company before we book them.
To set up an approval process, follow the steps on Set up an approval process.
