Overview

Coffee shops use Passinstance to replace paper punch cards with digital stamp cards in Apple Wallet and Google Wallet. Each visit adds a stamp on scan, and the reward unlocks automatically when the card is full.

Because the card lives on the phone, you can send a nearby reminder or a slow-morning offer to the lock screen — keeping regulars coming back without printing or reissuing plastic.

What you get

Everything to run wallet passes in production

Digital stamp cards

Configure the stamp grid, artwork, and reward. Staff scans to add a stamp, and the pass reveals the reward when complete.

Reward redemption on scan

Redeem a free drink with a scan and reset or continue the card — no manual counting at the counter.

Apple Wallet support

Issue native Apple Wallet passes — loyalty cards, tickets, coupons, membership, and generic passes — signed and ready to add on iPhone and Apple Watch.

Google Wallet support

Publish the same pass to Google Wallet for Android, so a single template reaches customers on both platforms without duplicate work.

Wallet pass API

Create, update, and revoke passes programmatically with a REST API and webhooks for install, update, and redemption events.

QR codes and download links

Distribute passes through hosted Add to Wallet pages, QR codes, email, SMS, or POS — customers install in one tap, no app required.

Update notifications

Push live field changes and lock-screen notifications when a balance, status, gate, or offer changes — passes stay current on every device.

Geolocation and relevant locations

Attach relevant locations so a pass surfaces on the lock screen when a customer is near your store, venue, or pickup point.

Dates, expiry, and lifecycle

Set relevant dates and expiration, extend validity on scan, and manage the full pass lifecycle from issue to revoke.

Analytics and tracking

Track installs, removals, scans, and redemptions per pass and cohort, with CSV and API exports for your own reporting.
