Payment risk in business spend often comes from unauthorized transactions, budget overruns, or lack of visibility. DogPay offers card controls that can be configured during virtual card setup to help mitigate these risks.

During card creation, you can set per-transaction limits, monthly caps, and restrict spending to specific merchant categories or geographic regions. This prevents cards from being used outside intended purposes. For example, a marketing team card can be limited to ad platforms only.

DogPay also supports real-time transaction alerts via webhooks, allowing your finance team to monitor spend as it happens. Combining spend limits with webhook notifications gives you a proactive approach to risk management.

Because DogPay uses stablecoin settlement and global accounts, you can manage cross-border payments without traditional banking delays. However, card acceptance depends on the merchant's payment network; DogPay does not guarantee acceptance everywhere.

For businesses seeking to reduce payment fraud and overspend, DogPay's card controls provide a practical layer of defense. Setting these controls at card issuance is the most effective way to enforce spending policies from the start.
