In this step-by-step tutorial, we show you how to create custom passes for gift cards, event tickets, membership cards, loyalty cards, and more, so you can keep them with you on your iPhone and Apple Watch.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Custom <\/p>\n

When you book a movie or plane ticket, the app will often show an \u201cAdd to Wallet\u201d button so you can save it to the iOS Wallet app. Similarly, you can add your payment cards to it.<\/p>\n

iOS 27<\/a> expands on this: instead of leaving you at the mercy of the app developer to implement Add to Wallet<\/em> support, you can create custom passes yourself.<\/p>\n

So, if you have digital or physical loyalty cards, membership cards, insurance cards, coupons, and other such items, you can add them to the iOS 27 Wallet app so they are always with you on your iPhone and Apple Watch.<\/p>\n

If the details are clear and the item has a QR code or barcode, Apple’s Visual Intelligence<\/a> feature should be able to scan it and automatically create a relevant pass. You can always edit things if needed.<\/p>\n

In case the automatic method doesn’t work for any reason, you can choose a pass template design and add everything manually to create one. More on it below.<\/p>\n

But remember, this digital pass system works best for things with a fixed QR code or barcode. Plus, they must not need to be checked physically. For example, suppose you added a loyalty card to it, but the establishment in question needs you to present your physical card. In this case, the Wallet version may not be fully useful, though it will still be helpful because it will show details like your membership number, expiry date, etc., as added.<\/p>\n

Scan and create a pass in the Wallet app<\/h2>\n

Visual Intelligence can scan a photo or use the camera to scan a physical item and turn it into a pass.<\/p>\n
