No custom redemption software
Start using wallet passes operationally without building your own scanning app.
Why this matters
Issuing a pass is only the beginning.
Teams also need a practical way to redeem coupons, validate memberships, and check customers in without building custom redemption software first.
No specialist hardware
Redeem and validate passes from smartphones and tablets your teams already use.
Simple coupon redemption
Use Self-Redemption for simple offers without adding a separate coupon app.
Launch now. Integrate later.
Start with PassKit's included tools, then connect existing POS, ticketing, or operational systems when needed.
Acceptance workflow
Start operating with included redemption tools.
PassKit includes ready-to-use applications for staff operations and simple customer redemption so you can launch without a separate scanning project.
- Use PassReader to recognise supported membership, coupon and ticket passes, then check in members, redeem offers or admit ticket holders.
- Use Self-Redemption for simple single-use coupons without building a separate redemption app.
- Use batch scanning for busy entry and queue moments from smartphones and tablets instead of specialist scanners.
- Keep your existing operational systems if you want deeper integration later on.

FAQ
Questions teams ask about pass redemption.
Common questions about scanning, validation, and acceptance.
What is pass redemption in PassKit?
It is the workflow for validating and accepting a pass when the customer presents it at the moment of use.
Is this only for event tickets?
No. It also matters for loyalty, membership, offers, access, and other programs where the pass is used to confirm an entitlement or complete an action.
Do we need separate scanning tooling?
Not to get started. PassReader is included for staff workflows, and Self-Redemption covers simple coupon use cases.
Should we use a QR code, barcode, or NFC?
Choose the method that fits the operating moment. PassReader and self-redemption can support practical QR or barcode workflows. NFC depends on wallet-platform requirements, certificates, compatible readers or terminals, approvals, and implementation configuration.
When should implementation details move to technical guidance?
Use the Help Centre or developer guidance when the decision depends on scanner setup, external readers or terminals, wallet-specific NFC configuration, APIs, or operational-system integration.
Why does redemption matter before launch?
Because you need confidence that the pass will work when customers try to use it, not just when it is first issued.
