How to Set Up and Use Your Lyft Business Profile

Nexonia offers a new travel integration with Lyft to allow users to integrate their Lyft business profiles with Nexonia to generate expense items automatically.

Any rides requested using your business profile via the Lyft app will automatically create a Nexonia expense report, as well as a pre-filled expense item with relevant information from the ride. Additionally, the Lyft receipt will be automatically linked to the expense item in Nexonia. You will simply need to complete the expense item, if applicable, and submit it for approval!

Note: the Lyft integration in Nexonia must be enabled by your organization's Nexonia administrator. Please contact them if this integration hasn't been enabled in your Nexonia environment. You'll typically see their name and email link on your Nexonia homepage on the web.
