Ramp is a finance automation platform that can save your business time and money. You get an all-in-one travel, corporate card, and expense management solution for free.
The Ramp integration
The integration lets you choose which cost fields travelers have to fill in when booking on Perk.
Ramp can only import new invoices. To import past invoices, contact the Ramp team.
- Bookings made using a Ramp card are automatically added to your Ramp account.
- Whenever a trip is booked on Perk using a Ramp card, the integration forwards all the trip costs to receipts+perk@ramp.com.
- A new expense is instantly created for the employee in their Ramp inbox, with all information conveniently pre-filled to help add it to a Ramp report.
- For the best integration experience, the payment profiles used for booking trips should be a Ramp Card and should be set to instant invoicing.
