Create Apple Wallet passes,
right on your iPhone.
Start from a prompt, image, template, or blank pass. Edit the fields, barcode, and artwork — then package, sign and add it to Wallet without hand-assembling a PKPass bundle.
Event tickets, bulk guest passes, loyalty cards, coupons, boarding passes and everything in between.

Build a loyalty cardCommon questions
Before you create the pass.
Can I create an Apple Wallet pass on my iPhone?
Yes. PassMaker lets you start from a prompt, reference image, template, or blank pass, edit it on iPhone, then package and sign a Wallet-ready PKPass file.
How do I add a barcode or QR code to Apple Wallet?
Create a pass that contains the barcode payload, choose a format supported by the real scanner, include human-readable alt text, then sign and add the finished pass to Wallet.
Can PassMaker create personalized event tickets from a CSV file?
Yes. Start from an event ticket template or saved draft, import attendee CSV data, map columns to pass fields and barcodes, preview the values, then generate and share the personalized passes.
Can I make a loyalty or membership card for Apple Wallet?
Yes. A store card or generic pass can hold a member identity, tier, points or balance, and a scannable code. Live balances and contactless loyalty require additional issuer infrastructure.
Does PassMaker sign PKPass files?
Yes. PassMaker packages the final pass assets, manifest, and signature into a Wallet-ready PKPass file. You can also inspect completed packages with the browser validator.
Field guides
Learn the format, not just the tool.
The Wallet pass spec has sharp edges — manifest digests, detached signatures, WWDR intermediates, MIME types. These guides cover the ones that actually break passes in production.
