Digital Passes is priced from $0.20 per card per month; no setup, retainer or fixed monthly fee; you only pay per active card. An active card is one that a member has added to their Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. Push notifications and card updates are included. There is no lock-in contract, so you can cancel at any time. For a quote based on your member numbers, request a consultation.
Once you send us your logo, colours, the membership details you want on the card and your sign-up preferences, we design and configure the pass for you. The aim is to have your membership pass live within days. Timing depends on how quickly assets arrive and whether you need a system integration. Ask us for a timeline for your club.
No. The membership card lives in Apple Wallet on iPhone or Google Wallet on Android, which are already on members' phones. There is no app to download, no account to create and no password to remember. Members tap a link, add the card in one tap and show their phone when they arrive at the club.
Yes. Every pass works in Apple Wallet on iPhone and Google Wallet on Android. Members receive one link, and the system recognises which phone they're using and offers the right wallet. You design a single card, and it shows your club's branding on both platforms, so every member with a smartphone can carry it.
After joining or renewing, members receive an SMS or email with a link to their personalised card. You can also share a secure link from your member portal, or display a QR code at the club for new members to sign up. Tapping the link adds the card to their phone's wallet straight away.
The card updates itself. When you change an expiry date, tier or membership status, the update is pushed silently to the pass already on the member's phone, so there's nothing to reprint or resend. If a membership expires, is suspended or is cancelled, you can deactivate the pass and visually void it in a single click.
Yes, and they're free. You can send branded messages that appear on members' lock screens, such as event reminders, patrol rosters or member specials. Messages can go out at a set time or when the pass content changes. Notifications are included in the price, with no extra charge per message.
You set an area around your venue using geo-fencing. When a member with the pass is nearby, a message can appear on their lock screen, for example a welcome, a happy hour special or an event reminder. These notifications are free, and members don't need an app for them to work.
Yes. Each pass carries a barcode that staff scan at entry, at the bar or at the point of sale to verify the member. Clubs can use a companion validation app on an iOS or Android device, or their existing scanning setup. NFC tap-to-verify is also available as an optional upgrade for NFC-enabled readers.
Digital Passes integrates with selected POS systems; ask us. When connected, the pass can show live information from your system, such as point balances, dining credits, bar tabs or event entries, and discounts can apply when the card is scanned. Tell us which POS and membership software your club uses, and we'll confirm what's possible and whether any extra integration work is needed.
Passes use the security built into Apple Wallet and Google Wallet, which are designed to store sensitive information. Each pass is tied to the member's device, and administrators can revoke access instantly. We only show the data your club chooses on the card. Before launch, we need your terms and conditions and privacy policy URLs. Ask us about data handling.
You decide. Common fields are member name, membership number, membership status or tier, expiry date, credit or points balance, and a photo. The back of the pass can hold your address, opening hours, promotions, contact details and links to your website and social media. Each club's design is branded with its own logo and colours.
Members join or renew as usual, and the digital card replaces the plastic one. For existing members, we can create digital cards from your member list. You can send them through your own SMS or email provider, or we can send them for you at an extra cost. New members get the digital card as soon as they join, so there are no new plastic cards to print.
Staff can securely resend the pass, so the member adds it again on their new or existing phone. Because the old pass can be deactivated in one click, a lost phone doesn't leave a valid card in circulation. There's no replacement card to print or post, and no admin fee for a new plastic card.
Digital cards remove printing, postage and replacement costs, and there's no app to build or maintain. Digital Passes is priced from $0.20 per card per month; no setup, retainer or fixed monthly fee; you only pay per active card. Whether it's cheaper for your club depends on what you currently spend on plastic cards, so compare that with the per-card price. Ask us for a quote.
Yes. Gyms with a shop or café can run membership, digital stamp cards and store credit on the same pass. World Gym, for example, uses a live wallet pass for shake stamps and store credit, so members can see their balance and get reminders by push notification. See the gym membership cards page for details.
