# Aplos vendor card creation
> Generate PEX vendor cards from your vendor list (called "contacts" in Aplos). You can save 1% on vendor spend with a PEX Vendor Card.
## Accessing the app
Log in to [http://dashboard.pexcard.com/](http://dashboard.pexcard.com/?utm_source=support)
Go to [Apps > Available](https://dashboard.pexcard.com/apps/available?utm_source=support).
Find **PEX Connector for Aplos**.
Click **More info** > **Install** > **Launch**.
## Select your use case(s)
There are two ways to connect PEX with Aplos. Enable **both** when you can so reconciliation stays simple.
* Auto-create vendor cards from my Aplos vendor list.
* Sync transactions from PEX to Aplos nightly.
Click **Auto create vendor cards from my Aplos vendor list**.
## Connect to your Aplos account
After you log in to PEX, confirm you are already connected to Aplos.
## Select vendors to auto-create vendor cards for
You will see a list of your top vendors.
**A to Z**, **Z to A**, and **Total Spend** are sorting options for the **Your Aplos vendors** list.
Select the vendors you want vendor cards for: click a name in **Your Aplos vendors**. Hold **Cmd** + **click** (Mac) or **Ctrl**/**Shift** + **click** (Windows) to select multiple. To select every vendor, click **Select All**.
**Note:**
You can select up to **25** vendors at a time.
If you do not see a vendor, search for any contact in your Aplos account: type in the **Your Aplos vendors** search bar.
If a vendor is missing from the list, add them in Aplos first. See [Creating contacts (individuals or companies)](https://www.aplos.com/support/articles/creating-contacts-individuals-or-companies/) in Aplos help. After you add them, the name is searchable in PEX.
When your selections are ready, click the **right-arrow** button to move them to **Selected vendors**.
To remove a vendor from **Selected vendors**, click the name, then the **left-arrow** button. The vendor returns to **Your Aplos vendors**.
To clear **Selected vendors**, click **Reset**.
**Note:**
Vendor cards are created only for vendors in **Selected vendors**.
Click **Next**.
## Add card details
This screen lists every vendor you moved to **Selected vendors**. You may see:
* Set an **auto card funding** limit drawn from your PEX Business Balance.
* Turn off auto funding and add **initial funding** for that vendor card (PEX Prepaid only).
**Note:**
If transaction sync with Aplos is already set to book purchases to a **single vendor**, you will also see **Automatically map expenses from vendor cards to vendors in Aplos**.
By default, that option is **on**. When it stays **on**:
* PEX purchases book to the matching vendors on your vendor cards.
* If a purchase has no matching vendor, it books to a **single** vendor.
If you turn it **off**, all PEX purchases book to a single vendor.
Click **Next**, then **Finish** to confirm.
PEX creates the vendor cards and opens the **Manage vendor cards** tab. Cards are **active** immediately.
## Managing vendor cards
View PEX vendor cards created from your Aplos list.
Click a card to manage it.
If nightly sync to Aplos is not set up, you will see **Sync your transactions to Aplos nightly**. Click **Get Started** to configure sync between PEX and Aplos.
