Pass Validation with PassEditor Scanner

Why You Need a Pass Validation System

Issuing digital passes is only half the battle. You also need a reliable way to validate them at entry points. Manual checks are error-prone and slow. PassEditor Scanner provides instant, reliable validation.

Features of PassEditor Scanner

Instant Validation

Scan any wallet pass QR code and get an immediate result:

Valid — Pass is authentic and not expired
Already Used — This ticket has already been redeemed
Expired — The pass is no longer valid
Invalid — Pass doesn’t exist or has been revoked

Works Offline

The scanner caches validation rules locally, so it works even without internet connectivity. This is critical for:

Indoor venues with poor connectivity
Outdoor events with temporary infrastructure
Remote locations

Sync happens automatically when connectivity returns.

Action-Based Scanning

Configure what happens when a pass is scanned:

Mark as used — Prevent double redemption
Redirect to URL — Show a custom webpage
Trigger webhook — Notify your backend system
Log custom data — Record scan location, timestamp, etc.

Use Cases

Event Entry

Scan tickets at festival gates, concert venues, or conference check-ins. The scanner handles high volume and provides real-time attendance counts.

Membership Validation

Gyms, clubs, and libraries can scan member cards to verify active status. The scanner shows member name and membership tier.

Coupon Redemption

Track coupon usage at point-of-sale. Each coupon can only be redeemed once, preventing fraud.

Transit Verification

Validate transit passes at turnstiles or aboard vehicles.
