Everything you need to design, distribute, and integrate wallet passes.
Pass Studio is a design and distribution platform for Apple Wallet and Google Wallet passes. Design coupons, loyalty cards, event tickets, and membership cards in a visual studio, then get them onto your customers' phones — no app to install, no code required.
Passes stay live after they're saved: update a design or award loyalty points and the pass on the customer's phone updates with a push notification. Distribution starts with a scan — customers add your pass from a QR code at the counter, in the window, or in an ad — and runs through share links, public issuance forms, branded emails, a Shopify integration that issues passes on paid orders, and a POS staff app for the counter. For everything else, there's a REST API and signed webhooks.
Guides
From signup to a live pass on a customer's phone in about ten minutes — design, distribute, and push your first update.
Connect your store: auto-issue passes on paid orders, sync pass barcodes as discount codes, and run closed-loop loyalty online and at POS.
Updating passes after issuance: push mechanics, the four notification channels, campaigns across nine audience segments, journey configuration and transition rules, and the dynamic loyalty loop.
Recognize and reward pass holders at the counter — scan the pass QR on any tablet, award points, and the pass updates in the customer's hand.
Brand-scoped workspaces for agencies and multi-brand merchants: each team has its own passes, credit wallet, brand defaults, and white-label certificate — switch brands from the top bar.
Connect passes to thousands of apps: trigger on pass events (issued, redeemed, removed), and issue passes, award points, or update fields from anywhere — no code.
Connect Pass Studio to your stack: the Shopify integration, REST API reference with request/response payloads, and signed webhooks — plus the automation scenarios they unlock.
No Apple Developer account required: passes are signed under Pass Studio's certificate by default. Bring your own only for full white-label.
What costs credits and what's free: issuing, pushes, scans, barcode pools — pay-as-you-go vs. Growth/Pro rates, packs, and team wallets.
