How it works

Live on Google Wallet in three steps.

Design your pass

Build your template in the Wally dashboard — logo, colours, hero image, fields and barcode or Smart Tap. Wally creates the matching Google Wallet class.

Distribute the “Add to Google Wallet” link

Share a signed save link by QR code, email, SMS, your website or checkout. Wally issues a personal pass object for every customer.

Update, notify and measure

Push balance and status changes to saved passes through the dashboard or API, and track saves, removals and redemptions in real time.

google-wallet-pass.sh

# Issue a Google Wallet pass
curl https://api.wally.ae/v2/credentials \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $WALLY_KEY" \
  -d '{'
    "template": "loyalty_card",
    "holder": "ada@acme.com",
    "fields": { "points": 1250 }
  '}'

# → returns a signed “Add to Google Wallet” link
{ "id": "cred_8Kp2",
  "google_save_url": "https://pay.google.com/gp/v/save/eyJ…" }

The problem we solve

Google Wallet without the integration work.

The challenge

Building on the Google Wallet API directly means issuer accounts, service-account signing, JWT save links, class and object management and brand-guideline reviews.

With Wally

Wally handles the Google Wallet integration end to end, so your team designs passes in a dashboard or issues them with one API call.

The challenge

Supporting Android and iPhone usually means two separate wallet projects, two designs and two sets of customer data.

With Wally

One Wally template issues both a Google Wallet pass and an Apple Wallet pass, with a single link that serves the right wallet on every device.

Capabilities

Built for the full Google Wallet pass lifecycle.

Issue & save

A pass on the phone in seconds

Every customer gets a personal, signed Google Wallet pass object linked to your class — saved from any channel you already use.

FAQ

Google Wallet questions, answered.

Wally issues Google Wallet loyalty cards and digital stamp cards, event tickets, offers and coupons, and generic passes for membership cards, access passes and digital business cards. Each is created as a Google Wallet class (your template) and object (the customer’s individual pass).

No. Customers tap the “Add to Google Wallet” button from a link, QR code, email, SMS or your website, and the pass is saved straight into Google Wallet on their Android phone. There is no app to download.

Yes. When a points balance, stamp count, seat, tier or expiry date changes, Wally updates the pass object through the Google Wallet API and the change appears on the customer’s saved pass automatically — no re-download needed.

Yes. Wally passes can be enabled for Google Smart Tap so customers redeem loyalty cards, tickets and access passes by holding their phone to a certified NFC reader. Our store stocks Smart Tap certified readers, including the VTAP100 PRO range.

No. Wally manages the Google Wallet issuer account, service-account signing and API integration for you, so you can launch without a Google Cloud project of your own.

The same Wally template issues an Apple Wallet pass for iPhone users. One campaign link detects the device and offers Google Wallet on Android and Apple Wallet on iOS, so you design and manage every pass in one place.

Water Delivery Loyalty Program: Retire the Paper Coupon Book

The 5-gallon water customer is one of the most loyal buyers in the UAE — yet most delivery companies can't name them, because the whole relationship lives in a paper coupon book that gets lost, miscounted and argued over at the door. Move the coupon book into Apple Wallet and Google Wallet: the bottle balance sits on the face of the pass, the driver deducts with one scan, the refill reminder lands free on the lock screen before the book runs out, and every delivery builds a customer list the company finally owns.

Loyalty Card Fraud: The Free Rewards You Never Agreed to Give Away

Every paper punch card program leaks — customers stamping their own cards, staff over-stamping for friends, one card shared around an office, photocopied rewards claimed at two branches. It's invisible because the only record is the ink in the customer's pocket. A digital punch card in Apple Wallet and Google Wallet closes the leak without policing anyone: only staff can stamp, every stamp is logged with time and branch, passes can't be copied, and rewards redeem exactly once.

Hotel Day Pass: Turn Daycation Guests Into Season-Long Regulars

UAE daycation season opens in October — and at most hotels, every day guest pays, gets a wristband, and leaves anonymous, while booking platforms keep the data and charge commission on every return visit. A hotel day pass in Apple Wallet and Google Wallet checks guests in with one scan, records every visit, shows F&B credit on the face of the pass, and stays on the phone after the visit as a free push channel — so repeat day guests become visible, reachable, and ready for the membership upsell.
