What is PassKit Wallet Integration

PassKit is a platform creating digital passes for mobile wallets (Apple Wallet, Google Pay). Instead of printing a loyalty card or ticket, you issue a digital pass. User gets it via email/SMS, adds to wallet one-tap. Scan the barcode/QR code at point-of-use. Examples: airline boarding passes in Apple Wallet, Starbucks loyalty card in Google Pay, event tickets, movie tickets, hotel key cards. Passes are dynamic, update in real-time (remaining balance, gate change, promotional offer).

❓ FAQ

▶What's the difference between PassKit and building a custom app?
PassKit = no app download required. User gets pass via email/SMS. Adds to wallet. Done. Custom app = 5-30% adoption (download friction). PassKit = 50%+ adoption (no download). For loyalty/tickets, PassKit is way easier.
▶Can I update a pass after user has added it to wallet?
Yes. Pass has dynamic fields (loyalty balance, boarding gate, offer expiry). Push update when data changes. User's wallet refreshes. Adds engagement (notifications).
▶How do I track pass usage (scans, redemptions)?
PassKit generates unique barcode per pass. Scan at checkout = PassKit logs scan. You can see: which user, when, which location, redemption count. Feed that data to loyalty system.
▶Can I use PassKit for employee badges?
Yes. Employee ID badge in wallet. Scan at building entrance (NFC or barcode). Track attendance. Update permissions in real-time (new hire, contractor). No physical badge needed.
▶What's the cost of PassKit?
Base platform cost ($100-500/month) + per-pass fees (cents per pass). Loyalty passes cheaper ($0.01/pass); event tickets more ($0.10/pass). Volume discounts available.
