If the company card sits with someone else, like your finance team or a client, you can email them a link to add it. They don't need a Pace login, and they see the plan and the amount before they agree to anything.
Send the link
You do this from the plan step when you set up Pace. Only the workspace owner can send it.
- Choose your plan and billing period on the Choose your plan step.
- Below the checkout, select Someone else holds the card.
- Enter their email address and select Send.
Pace shows who you sent it to. Once they've added the card, select Check again to carry on with set up.
The link is for the plan and price you had selected when you sent it. The card holder can't change it. To pick a different plan, choose it and select Send again. The new link replaces the old one, which stops working.
Note: You can send the link up to three times. If you need more, email [email protected].
What the card holder sees
The email comes from Pace and names you as the person asking. The link opens a page that shows:
- Plan: the plan you chose.
- Amount: the price and how often it renews.
- First charge: the date their card is first charged.
- Due today: what they pay at checkout.
With a 14-day free trial, nothing is due today and the first charge is 14 days out. If your workspace has already used its free trial, the first charge is today and the page says so.
What they agree to
Before they can continue, the card holder ticks a box with the exact charge in plain words. For example: "I authorise Pace to charge $99.00 / month starting November 24, 2026, unless I cancel before my trial ends."
They then enter the card on Stripe's secure checkout. Pace never sees the card number. Read how Pace handles your data for more on that.
If the first charge date changes after they open the page, Pace asks them to reload so they see the new terms before they pay.
How long the link lasts
The link works for 7 days. After that, or after you send a new one, the page tells them it has expired and asks them to get a new link from you.
Once a card is on file, the link shows that the plan is already set up and there's nothing more to do.
Who hears about charges
The card holder gets a short email:
- Before the first charge, with the amount and date.
- When the first charge goes through.
- If a charge to their card doesn't go through, asking them to let you know.
Each email names you as the person to ask about the account. If you turn renewal off during the trial, the card holder doesn't get the upcoming charge or charged emails.
Billing stays with the workspace owner. To cancel or change plans, follow the steps in how your 14-day free trial works.
