Pushcard

Getting started

Pushcard puts your brand on your customers’ phones as a digital wallet pass—the same kind of card people keep in Apple Wallet and Google Wallet. After someone adds your pass once, you can reach them with push-style updates on the lock screen, similar to alerts from apps they already trust, without requiring a separate mobile app.

This guide walks through the shortest path from a new account to a live enrollment and your first notification.

1. Create your account

Sign up at app.pushcard.com and confirm your organization. You can stay on the free plan for up to 1,000 enrolled customers—enough to prove the workflow with a real audience. When you outgrow free limits or want advanced tooling (for example automation triggers or more locations for nearby alerts), see Pricing for Plus and Pro.

2. Finish onboarding

Complete the onboarding steps in the dashboard so your business profile (name, contact details, visuals) matches what customers will see when they add your pass. Consistent branding here makes enrollment feel legitimate and recognizable on the lock screen.

3. Create your first pass (“program”)

In the dashboard, create a pass that reflects what you’re offering—for example loyalty stamps, VIP access, announcements, or a simple permanent membership card. You’ll configure:

  • Look and feel: logos, imagery, and copy that appear in the Wallet app.
  • What’s on the card: the fields customers see every time they open the pass.

You’re designing both the Enrollment experience (how people get onto the card) and the ongoing presence on their device afterward.

4. Offer a way to enroll

Typical rollout patterns:

  1. QR code — Print or display a code at checkout, the register, packaging, tables, or your front door so people can scan and add the pass in a few taps.
  2. Link — Share a URL from your website, email footer, bios, receipts, or SMS.

Customers add the pass to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet using the normal OS flow. Enrollment can be tuned so you reach people without collecting personal identifiable information, which often improves trust and signup rates depending on how you promote it.

5. Send your first notification

When you’re ready to communicate, compose a short message aimed at enrolled pass holders and send it from the dashboard. Eligible recipients get an attention-getting notification on the lock screen alongside their other alerts. Use clear, actionable copy and respect frequency—many businesses lead with timely offers, event reminders, or important updates rather than filler.

Optional features you can explore next include campaigns, automations (on paid tiers), and location-based reminders when customers are near a place you designate.

Integrations

If you sell through Shopify or Square, you can connect Pushcard through Integrations so enrollment and workflows fit how you already run the business—without replacing your stack.
