Add a card to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet

Prefer your phone's built-in wallet? ShowCards can hand a card to Apple Wallet on iPhone or Google Wallet on Android, so it sits alongside your passes and boarding cards.

Create the pass

Open a card, then open the share menu. On iPhone choose Add to Apple Wallet; on Android choose Add to Google Wallet. Give the pass a name and confirm, and it drops straight into your phone's wallet.

Your card number stays protected

On iPhone the card number never leaves your device: ShowCards only fetches a signature for the pass, never the number itself. On Android the card's details are sent once to ShowCards to build and sign the pass, and are not stored afterwards.

Which barcodes carry across

Most barcode types travel as scannable codes. A few older 1D formats aren't supported by the phone's own wallet; in that case the pass shows the number as text you can read to staff, so the card still works at the till.

Add your own logo

On iPhone you can give the pass your own logo: paste an image, pick one from Photos, or keep the ShowCards mark. We never place a store's logo on a signed pass for you.
