Issuing a pass
Updated June 29, 2026
Issuing turns a template into a single, real pass for one person. The template supplies the design; you supply the details that change from pass to pass.
Open the template you want to issue from. Everything about the look of the pass comes from here, so it should already be designed the way you want.
Choose Apple Wallet, Google Wallet, or both. If you don't specify, Passmint issues an Apple pass. For a Google pass to work in live mode, your Google issuer must be connected first.
Optionally add the holder's name and email. The email lets Passmint deliver the pass automatically and ties per-person analytics to that recipient.
Enter the values for this specific pass: the name, seat, balance, or code. Any field marked required must have a value, or issuing won't complete.
Passmint generates the pass and gives you a share link and a QR code. The pass is now live and ready to send.
What you get back
Each issued pass has its own stable share link, a QR code, and a unique serial number. The link doesn't change even when you update the pass later, so you can print a QR code with confidence that it will keep working.
In test mode the pass carries a [TEST] watermark and costs nothing. In live mode it counts toward your plan once someone installs it. See test mode vs live mode.
Issuing in volume
Issuing one pass at a time in the dashboard is right for small numbers and one-offs. For larger volumes, issue passes through an integration or the API, which can create a pass automatically whenever someone buys a ticket, signs up, or joins.
Next steps
- Share the pass by link or QR code.
- Update it any time and the change reaches every installed copy.
- Void it if it should no longer be valid.
