Getting started

Add your first card

From a plastic card in your hand to a tile in your wallet takes less than a minute. This is the whole flow.

Scan the barcode

Tap the plus button on the home screen and choose Scan. Point the camera at the barcode on the back of your card. ShowCards recognizes the code and its format automatically, so there is nothing to pick from a list.

Hold the card flat and let the barcode fill the frame. Detection normally takes under a second.

Name and save

Give the card a name (the store name works best), pick a color or a logo suggestion, and tap Save. The card appears as a tile on your home screen, ready to show.
