Overview

Geofencing wallet passes use relevant locations attached to a pass so it appears on the lock screen when a customer is near a place that matters — your shop, a venue entrance, or a curbside pickup zone. It is a privacy-friendly way to re-engage without a separate app.

Combine location triggers with time-based reminders and live updates so loyalty cards, tickets, and offers show up at the right moment instead of getting lost in email or SMS.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How does geofencing work for wallet passes?

You attach relevant locations to a pass. When the customer's device is near one of those locations, Apple Wallet or Google Wallet can surface the pass on the lock screen, prompting them to use it.

Do geofencing wallet passes require an app?

No. The behavior is handled natively by Apple Wallet and Google Wallet using the locations on the pass, so customers do not need to install a separate app.

Is location data shared with the business?

Location relevance is handled on the device by the wallet. You configure the relevant locations on the pass; the wallet decides when to surface it based on proximity.

Can I combine location with time-based reminders?

Yes. You can use both relevant locations and scheduled updates so passes appear at the right place and the right time.
