FAQ: How to issue Google Wallet tickets

NFC tickets and passes for Google Wallet can be issued to Android users through multiple channels. Distribution options include email, SMS, web, social media, or in-app links.

There is no practical limit on the number of NFC tickets & passes that can be stored in the Google Wallet.

The quickest and simplest route for organisations wanting to provide people with NFC tickets & passes (for Android and Apple phones) is to use a Pass Provider.

Pass Providers offer a range of services covering both Google & Apple devices, from complete solutions with no coding required, to developer customisable platforms:

• Personalised ticket passes can be designed and branded.

• Tickets can be issued to customers through multiple channels, with automatic selection of Google or Apple formats as appropriate.

• Customers be sent push notifications to their phone, and even messages based on their specific location.

• Provide ticket usage metrics and dashboards.

Alternatively, with a sufficiently skilled development team, NFC tickets & passes for the Google Wallet can be generated and managed directly by integrating with Google servers.
