What is Privacy Cards?
The Privacy Cards skill enables developers to integrate Privacy.com's robust virtual card infrastructure into their automated workflows via Openclaw Skills. It allows for the generation of single-use, merchant-locked, or unlocked virtual cards, providing a secure layer for online payments that protects your primary funding sources.
By leveraging this skill, users can programmatically control card states, update spending limits in real-time, and monitor transaction histories. It is designed for those who need a high level of security and automation in their digital purchasing and subscription management, all handled within the Openclaw Skills ecosystem.
Privacy Cards Use Cases
- Automated creation of single-use cards for one-time online purchases to prevent recurring billing.
- Generating merchant-locked cards to restrict spending to specific vendors and prevent overcharging.
- Programmatic auditing of transaction history for business expense management.
- Dynamic adjustment of spending limits based on budget thresholds or project requirements.
- Rapid response security scripts to pause or close cards automatically during suspicious activity.
How Privacy Cards Works
- The skill authenticates with the Privacy.com API using a securely stored API key within the Openclaw Skills configuration.
- A request is initiated to create a card with specific parameters, such as card type (SINGLE_USE, MERCHANT_LOCKED, or UNLOCKED) and a defined spend limit.
- The Privacy.com API processes the request and returns a JSON object containing the card token and sensitive card data like PAN, CVV, and expiry (subject to account permissions).
- Users can then perform management actions such as listing all active cards, retrieving specific card details, or patching card states to PAUSED or CLOSED.
- Transaction data is retrieved via the transactions endpoint, allowing for detailed filtering by date, card token, or approval result.
Privacy Cards Setup
To begin using this skill within Openclaw Skills, follow these installation steps:
- Sign up for a Privacy.com account.
- Email support@privacy.com to request API access specifically for your account.
- Once approved, obtain your API key from your account dashboard.
- Configure your environment variable to authenticate requests:
export PRIVACY_API_KEY="your-api-key"
