Apple Wallet and Google Wallet integration for WordPress event tickets is here — and it changes everything about how your attendees manage their tickets. With one tap, they save the pass directly to their phone’s lock screen. No printing. No screenshots buried in a camera roll.

The Live Event Seating plugin now generates both Apple Wallet (.pkpass) and Google Wallet passes automatically. This happens as soon as a WooCommerce order completes. Therefore, your attendees get a modern, digital ticket experience without any extra steps.

The Problem: Printed Tickets and Lost QR Codes

😩 Real pain point

Customers print tickets or screenshot QR codes. Printed tickets get lost. Screenshots get buried in the camera roll. Modern attendees expect to tap “Add to Apple Wallet” or “Add to Google Wallet” — and most event plugins simply do not offer this.

Think about the last concert or event you attended. Did you fumble through your photos app to find your ticket? Did you accidentally delete the screenshot? Or did you confidently pull it up from your wallet app in seconds?

The difference in experience is massive. Furthermore, when attendees struggle with their ticket, it slows down your check-in line. Consequently, everyone has a worse time — including you and your staff.

  • Print at home and lose it
  • Screenshot buried in camera roll
  • Slow check-in line
  • Attendees panic on event day
  • No push notification reminder

✅ With wallet passes

  • One tap saves to phone
  • Always visible on lock screen
  • Fast QR scan at the door
  • Attendees feel confident
  • Pass surfaces automatically at venue

The Solution: Digital Wallet Passes for WordPress Events

The Live Event Seating plugin generates Apple Wallet and Google Wallet passes for every ticket. This happens automatically — right when a WooCommerce order is completed. Therefore, there is nothing extra for you or your customers to do.

This feature is designed with zero friction in mind. Similarly to how streaming services make watching a film effortless, this feature makes saving a ticket effortless. The pass is created, delivered, and saved — all without the attendee having to think about it.

✅ The plugin generates both .pkpass (Apple) and Google Wallet passes automatically when an order completes — no additional configuration is needed.

Apple Wallet vs Google Wallet — Both Fully Supported

Your attendees use different phones. Some use iPhones, and others use Android devices. The Live Event Seating plugin supports both platforms natively. Consequently, no attendee is left without a digital pass option.

Apple Wallet

Generates a .pkpass file. Works on every iPhone and Apple Watch running iOS 6 or later.

Google Wallet

Works on all Android phones. The pass appears on the lock screen and in Google Wallet app.

Both wallet types use the same underlying event data. As a result, you only need to set up your event once. The plugin handles formatting each pass for its respective platform automatically.

Where the “Add to Wallet” Button Appears

The plugin places an “Add to Wallet” button in three strategic places. Together, these touchpoints ensure that every attendee has multiple opportunities to save their pass — even if they miss the first one.

🧾

Thank You Page

Right after checkout completes. This is the first and most visible placement — attendees see it immediately.

📧

Order Confirmation Email

The “Add to Wallet” button appears inside the WooCommerce order confirmation email sent automatically.

👤

My Account Page

Attendees can add their pass anytime from the WooCommerce My Account orders section.

This three-touchpoint approach is important. First, it catches attendees right after purchase. Next, it gives a second chance via email. Finally, the My Account page acts as a permanent fallback. Consequently, the pass adoption rate is much higher than single-placement solutions.

What Each Pass Includes — No Duplicate Setup Required

Every wallet pass is populated automatically from your existing event data. You do not need to enter anything twice. The plugin pulls all the relevant details from the event and ticket records.

Each pass automatically includes

  • Event name and organiser branding
  • Event date and start time
  • Venue name and location
  • Seat number (pulled from your seating chart)
  • Existing QR code — no new code generated

Your Existing QR Code — Reused Perfectly

One of the smartest aspects of this feature is that it reuses your existing QR code. There is no new check-in workflow to set up. The same QR code that was on the PDF ticket now lives inside the wallet pass. Furthermore, your check-in staff uses the exact same scanning process they already know.

This matters because it means adoption is immediate. You do not need to retrain staff. You do not need to update your check-in app. Moreover, you do not need to worry about attendees having the “wrong” type of ticket.

Zero Maintenance for Attendees and Organisers

Perhaps the most impressive part of this feature is what it does not require. There are no apps to download. There is no account to create on a third-party platform. In addition, there is no ongoing cost per pass.

For Attendees: It Just Works

The attendee taps “Add to Wallet,” and the pass is saved. On event day, their phone’s lock screen automatically surfaces the pass when they arrive near the venue. This location-aware feature is built into both Apple Wallet and Google Wallet natively. Therefore, attendees do not even need to open an app.

For Organisers: Fully Automated

From your side, the entire system runs on autopilot. After the initial setup, you do not touch anything. Each new order triggers pass generation automatically. Consequently, you can focus entirely on delivering a great event — not managing ticket logistics.

This also pairs well with the automated email reminders feature in the same plugin. Together, they create a complete attendee communication system. The reminder email tells people to “bring their wallet pass.” The wallet pass makes doing so effortless.

If you are interested in how other platforms handle digital tickets, Apple’s official Wallet documentation explains the .pkpass standard in detail. The Live Event Seating plugin handles all of that complexity for you automatically.

Modern attendees have high expectations. They expect the same seamless experience they get from airlines, sports teams, and concert venues. Now your WordPress event plugin delivers exactly that — without the enterprise price tag.
