The ProPurchase Card, issued by HD Supply (a subsidiary of The Home Depot), is a specialized purchase card for HD Supply account holders who also need to make purchases at Home Depot retail stores. Rather than using a traditional credit card, each ProPurchase Card acts like a pre-authorized buyer token for the HD Supply master account - when a tech uses the card at a Home Depot checkout, the transaction is invoiced back to the HD Supply account rather than charged to a credit card. Electronic receipts email to the account holder immediately after each in-store transaction, giving owners near-real-time visibility into spending.
For HVAC contractors, this solves a common operational problem: techs who need last-mile parts (fittings, fasteners, wire nuts, duct hangers) at a nearby Home Depot but don't want the overhead of submitting personal expense reports or carrying a shared company credit card. Owners can issue unique cards to employees or locations and attach optional weekly or monthly spend limits per card. Purchases access Home Depot's broader catalog including lumber, drywall, and tool/truck rentals that may not be carried at the local HD Supply counter.
Important caveat: purchases made with the ProPurchase Card are NOT eligible for HD Supply volume discounts, tier pricing, or special rebates - Home Depot everyday retail pricing applies. Home Depot store coupons and promotions are honored. The card is not a true credit or debit card and the program can be modified or terminated at HD Supply's discretion. HD Supply is wholly owned by The Home Depot (NYSE: HD) and primarily serves multifamily, hospitality, healthcare, institutional, and facilities maintenance customers.
