By connecting Bubble with PassKit, you can issue digital wallet passes such as coupons, event tickets, loyalty cards, or memberships based on actions within your Bubble app. This allows you to create a direct link between user activity and mobile wallet experiences.

Setting Up The Integration

To connect Bubble with PassKit:

  1. Create and publish your digital pass in PassKit (e.g., membership, coupon, loyalty, or event pass).
  2. In PassKit, go to Settings > Developer Tools to generate your API credentials and find your API region.
  3. In Bubble, decide what workflow or user action will trigger pass creation, such as:
    • A user signs up
    • A user completes a form
    • A purchase is made within your app
  4. Use Bubble’s API Connector plugin to set up a connection with the PassKit API:
    • Authenticate using your API credentials
    • Create a call to issue passes by sending user data
  5. Map Bubble app fields (like name, email, membership ID) to your PassKit pass template.
  6. After the pass is created, display the pass link inside the app, email it to the user, or store it in their profile.

This lets your app instantly generate digital passes without needing external services.

Common Use Cases

Bubble + PassKit is a strong combination for app builders offering loyalty, events, membership, or promotions.

  • Issue a digital membership card after a user signs up
  • Deliver loyalty coupons after a purchase or milestone
  • Send event tickets upon registration or payment
  • Offer exclusive access passes through gated app sections
  • Update pass details (like tier or points) based on user activity

It helps turn your app interactions into real-world, mobile experiences.

Requirements

To set this up, you’ll need:

  • A PassKit account with a published pass
  • A Bubble.io account
  • API credentials from PassKit Developer Tools
  • Bubble’s API Connector installed and configured
  • Matching fields between your app data and PassKit pass fields

Some familiarity with Bubble’s workflow and API settings is helpful but no traditional coding is required.
