How geofencing works for wallet passes

2026-01-151 min readBy Passinstance Team

Geofencing for wallet passes means attaching locations to a pass so the wallet can surface it when the customer is nearby.

Relevant locations on the pass

You define latitude, longitude, and relevant text per location. The OS evaluates proximity on the device.

What businesses see

You typically see aggregate engagement metrics, not continuous location tracking of individuals.

Pair with useful pass updates

Combine surfacing with an updated offer or stamp balance to increase redemption.

Start with a pilot store

Validate radius and copy at one location before rolling out nationally.
