What to review

Check both Apple Wallet and Google Wallet previews when available. The same card can look slightly different on each platform.

Review:

  • Card name
  • Logo and icon
  • Strip image
  • Colors and contrast
  • Reward or membership text
  • Display fields
  • Barcode or QR area
  • Terms and back-of-pass information

Steps

  1. Open Cards Manager.
  2. Select the card template.
  3. Open the preview area.
  4. Switch between wallet previews if available.
  5. Check the card at mobile size.
  6. Save any needed changes.
  7. Publish when the preview is ready.

What makes a good preview

  • Text is short and readable.
  • The logo is not cropped.
  • Important fields fit without clutter.
  • Colors match the brand and pass contrast checks.
  • The reward is obvious to a customer.

Test on a phone

The preview is helpful, but a real install is better. Before launch, use the join link to install a test pass on your own phone.
