Create Passes

In this page you'll learn how to create a pass. Passes are generated based on a previously created pass template. If you did not create one yet, please read the guides located here.

To access this page, expand the menu item Loyalty and click in Passes:

To create a pass, click in the New Pass button from the list of passes:

In that page you'll find the pass wizard, which is divided in four different tabs like the ones shown below:

tabs v2

Setup

In this tab you will need to select which template you'll use:

template

Depending on the template you use, other tabs will require different input. You start by searching for an existing template:

search templates v2

Once you've found the template you want to use, click on it to select it:

selected template v2

Relevance

In this tab you can optionally provide a list of of locations and/or beacons (iOS only) where your passes should become relevant. Both platforms will take this into consideration and show it in the device's lockscreen, when applicable.

You can add up to 10 locations. These can be addresses or geo-zones, POIs, cities or countries you previously created in Locations (if your plan support Location Services).

locations empty

To add location select the type of location you want and type in the search field:

locations search

If the desired location is found you can simply click on it to add an entry in the locations list:

location entry

Additionally for each location you add, you can also define a relevant text (iOS only) which will replace the generic system message used in the lockscreen and an altitude (in case your location location above ground, e.g. in a skyscraper).

You can then also do the same for beacons (iOS only) and add up to 10 beacons:

beacons empty v2

Clicking in Add a beacon will add an entry as follows:

beacon entry v2

Only Proximity UUID is mandatory and will be pre-filled with whatever UUID you already defined for your application (if any). Additionally, if you want to target specific beacons, you should then provide the Major and Minor identifiers. Finally, for each beacon you add, you can also define a relevant text, which will replace the generic system message used in the lockscreen.

Fields

In this area, you will need to define the values for all the Pass Fields you've created in your template. These will be unique for each pass and if left blank they will simply use the default values you've defined.

Barcode

If you select Redeem Pass N Times you will need to also provide the number of times the pass can be redeemed:

redeem limit

Optionally, you can also provide a date where the pass will automatically expire, independently of the redeem options:

expiration date

Relevance

In this tab you can optionally provide information that will be trigger the pass to be shown in the lock screen based on location or time. If you wish to prompt the pass in the lock screen when user is near one or more locations (up to 10), you search for any address or any of the geo-zones, POI's, cities or countries you've created in the field below:

pick locations

Simply search for any of the options available like shown below:

search locations

As you click in the locations you want to add, they will be displayed like the following:

selected location

For each location you add, you can also define which text should show in the lock-screen whenever a user is in the vicinity. This is done by inserting a value in the following field:

relevant text

If you add locations, you can also specify a maximum distance within which those locations will be relevant. By default we will use 500 meters as we consider this a reasonable value but you can choose to change that value:

max distance

Additionally if have BTLE beacons, you can also use them as a relevant lock-screen trigger for your passes. Toggle in the option below to include beacons (up to 10):

use beacons

Then to add beacons, click in the Add a beacon? link from the following section:

beacons empty

By default we will add an entry using only the Proximity UUID for your app, like shown below:

beacon entry

If you want, you can also add a Major and Minor to achieve fine-grained precision for these lock-screen messages. For each beacon, pretty much like locations, you can also provide the text that will be shown in the lock-screen:

relevant text

Please note that only passes added to the user wallet, will be prompted in the lock screen based on this data.

Design

In this tab you will be able to change the look and feel of your pass. These settings are already configured by the template you use but you will be able to change for each individual pass. The artwork used by your pass will depend on the type of pass:

Optionally if you wish to add a machine-readable object that a companion app can access (this data will not be visible for the user) you can include a JSON object in the following field:

user info

This data can be used to include information that an app can make sense of. For example in a member card this object could contain the preferences of the user to help staff know what a customer usually likes.

Barcode

Click in the Barcode tab if you wish to include a custom barcode value. By default we will generate a serial number for you but if you wish to include a value that your scanning infrastructure understands, you can provide one in the field below:
