halocard-virtualcards

What This Skill Does

The halocard-virtualcards skill enables your OpenClaw agent to act as a digital wallet, generating single-use virtual credit cards on demand. This tool is designed to be used as a payment step within broader browser-automation tasks. Rather than manually inputting card details for every online purchase, the agent securely fetches a virtual card via the Halocard API, allowing for safe, disposable transactions. This protects the user's primary financial information by ensuring that each card is strictly tied to a specific merchant and transaction amount.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, use the command-line interface within your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/adhambadr/halocard-virtualcards

After installation, ensure you have configured your HALOCARD_TOKEN as an environment variable. Obtain this token from your dashboard at https://secure.halocard.co/dashboard. If you have not registered, sign up at https://secure.halocard.co/enter.

Use Cases

• E-commerce: Automating the purchase of physical goods from retailers.
• Subscriptions: Managing recurring or one-time charges for software services.
• Digital Goods: Purchasing domains, cloud services, or digital assets.
• Food Delivery: Ordering meals from platforms like Uber Eats or DoorDash.
• Service Booking: Paying for travel, gig economy services, or online bookings.

Example Prompts

1. "Order a medium pepperoni pizza from Domino's using my virtual card and check the total before paying."
2. "Please subscribe to the $10/month plan on this website using a disposable card."
3. "Buy this domain name for me; the checkout page is open, confirm the price with me first."

Tips & Limitations

• Manual Confirmation: The agent is strictly programmed to ask for your explicit approval regarding the merchant, items, and total amount before any card is created. Always verify the math before confirming.
• Security: Since these cards are virtual and disposable, they minimize exposure to fraud.
• Context is Key: Always provide the agent with your billing name and address if the payment form requires it, as these are not automatically included in the virtual card response.
• Scope: This skill does not handle non-payment browser tasks. Ensure the agent has already successfully reached the checkout screen before requesting a payment card.
