Request a payment credential

Request a single-use virtual card to execute a specific purchase against an active mandate. Allowance automatically validates the request against the mandate rules — amount, merchant, merchant category, and time period. No human approval is needed at this step; the human already approved the mandate.

If validation passes, a virtual card (PAN, expiry, CVV) is returned. The agent uses these details at merchant checkout like a normal card number. The card is single-use, amount-capped, and short-lived — safety comes from these constraints, not from hiding credentials.

For cadence: "once" mandates, the mandate automatically moves to exhausted status after the first virtual card is issued.
