APPLE WALLET PASSES

Put your business in every iPhone's Wallet

An Apple Wallet pass sits next to your customer's bank cards, in an app that is already on their phone. PointVibe designs it, delivers it and keeps it up to date — and the same pass goes to Google Wallet for everyone on Android.

THE BASICS

What is an Apple Wallet pass?

An Apple Wallet pass is a digital card stored in Wallet, the app built into every iPhone. Businesses use passes for loyalty cards, stamp cards, memberships, coupons, gift cards and event tickets.

Your customer adds it with one tap from a link, a QR code, an email or a text message. There is nothing to install and no account to create, because Wallet is already on the phone.

Unlike a paper card or a screenshot, a pass keeps changing after it is issued. Points, balances and offers update on the card itself, and a message can land on the lock screen without an app.

WHY A WALLET PASS

What a pass can do in Apple Wallet

Always on the iPhone

Wallet ships on every iPhone, so the pass is there without a download. Customers find it in the same place as the cards they pay with.

Updates on its own

Points, balances, offers, fields and even the design change on every issued pass in real time. Nothing is reissued and the customer does nothing.

Lock-screen messages

Send an offer straight to the lock screen, on a schedule, to an audience, or when someone comes within range of one of your stores — up to 10 locations per pass.

One design, both wallets

The pass you design for iPhone is the one Android customers get in Google Wallet. PointVibe sends each phone the right format automatically.

HOW TO MAKE ONE

Create an Apple Wallet pass in four steps

1

Pick a template

Start from a loyalty card, stamp card, membership, coupon, gift card or event ticket, then drop in your colours and logo.

2

Choose fields and a barcode

Decide what the pass shows — points, a balance, a tier, an expiry — and watch a live Apple Wallet preview update as you build.

3

Publish and share it

Send one link, or put a QR code at the counter. Customers on iPhone tap once and the pass is in Apple Wallet. Email, SMS and your socials work too.

4

Scan it at the counter

Staff scan the pass with the PointVibe Scanner app on any iOS or Android phone. Points and balances update on the customer's pass straight away.
