Apple Wallet: What Is It?

Wallet is a mobile application from Apple, designed to store membership cards, tickets, coupons, and reservations -- similar to a digital wallet. It's great for customers because they don't have to carry around hard copies of their reservations and information is automatically kept up-to-date on their phones. For merchants, it can be a big time-saver for staff and provides a great end-to-end booking experience.

How Does Apple Wallet Work?

When a customer adds a Checkfront booking to their Apple Wallet, it stores the reservation on their iPhone or iPod. Upon arrival at your business, your staff can scan, validate and check-in the customer using the built-in bar-code scanner in our native Mobile Apps (iPhone, iPad, Android). This is all communicated to your central Checkfront system, in real time.

As an added bonus, if the booking is changed, the details are updated automatically on the customer's phone. Your paper receipt can’t do that, can it? Access to Apple Wallet is made available in Checkfront as an add-on and is offered to all accounts at no extra cost.
