Managing your Shopify Balance cards

You can use the Shopify Balance card as a tool for managing your business expenses. You can view and manage your Shopify Balance card details by going to Finance > Balance and then clicking your virtual or physical card.

Number of virtual and physical Shopify Balance cards you can have
