Have you ever wanted to have all your tickets and loyalty cards in one app on your iPhone? Apple Wallet is the perfect solution for you. With this application, you can store all your tickets, loyalty cards, and much more in one secure and easily accessible place.
However, not all tickets or loyalty cards are compatible with Apple Wallet. But don't worry, in this article we'll show you how to convert any code into an Apple Wallet ticket.
Follow these simple steps to easily add any ticket or loyalty card to your Apple Wallet app.
What is Apple Wallet and how does it work?
Apple Wallet, previously known as Passbook, is a pre-installed application on all iOS devices that allows users to digitally store tickets, loyalty cards, coupons, and more. These digital objects can be accessed through the Wallet app on their iOS device.
To use Apple Wallet, users can download apps from companies that offer services supported by Apple Wallet, or scan QR codes or bars present on physical tickets to add them to the app. Once added, tickets can be viewed in the Wallet app and shown at cash registers or event checkpoints.
In addition, Apple Wallet also offers the ability to send tickets and gift cards to other people via messages or email, making it easier to share experiences and special offers with friends and family.
Apple Wallet is highly customizable. App developers can create a variety of options to personalize each individual pass, including the ability to change the color, logo, and information displayed on the digital object. This way, users can easily distinguish between different tickets and cards in their collection.
- Example: If you have a physical concert ticket, you can scan it through the concert organizer's app or through a QR code on the ticket itself. Once added to the Wallet app, the ticket can be viewed and used without needing to bring the physical ticket with you.
