Toast + PassKit Integration For Google & Apple Wallet

The Toast POS + PassKit integration gives restaurants a way to connect in-store transactions and customer activity to mobile wallet passes. Whether you want to issue a digital loyalty card after a guest’s first visit, update points based on spend, or promote customers to new tiers, Toast data can be used to automate how passes are created and managed in PassKit.

Note: Toast does not have an official Zapier or Make connector. Any connection requires Toast Partner API access (application/approval; access is scoped and often read-only) or data exports.

Setting Up The Integration

Follow these steps to connect Toast activity with PassKit:

1. Create and publish your pass template in PassKit
   (e.g., loyalty card, membership pass, coupon, or rewards card).
2. Retrieve your PassKit API details
   Go to PassKit Dashboard → Settings → Developer Tools to obtain your API region, SDK host, and REST API prefix.
3. Generate API credentials
   Create the API keys or tokens required to authenticate your PassKit requests.
4. Obtain Toast data
   Access customer or transaction information from Toast using:
   • Data exports
   • Built-in Toast reports
   • Toast API access (only if API access has been enabled by Toast for the merchant’s account)
5. Use an integration layer to send data to PassKit
   Automations can be built using:
   • A custom backend or server
   • An ETL or integration partner
   • No-code platforms such as Zapier or Make, using their webhook/HTTP modules or available third-party Toast connectors
     These tools can trigger new pass issuance or update existing passes when specific events occur, such as completed orders, loyalty sign-ups, or spend milestones.
6. Optionally configure PassKit webhooks
   PassKit can notify your system when passes are installed, updated, scanned, or removed. These events can be routed into:
   • CRMs or marketing tools
   • Automation platforms
   • Custom services that can (where permitted by the merchant’s Toast integration level) update customer records or loyalty data.

This setup keeps your loyalty program synchronized with real guest activity without requiring manual processes.

Common Use Cases

Toast POS + PassKit is ideal for restaurants and hospitality businesses that want to connect physical purchases with mobile-first loyalty through Apple Wallet and Google Wallet passes.

• Automatically issue a digital loyalty pass when a new customer signs up
• Update pass point balances based on spend recorded in Toast
• Upgrade pass tier levels automatically when spend thresholds are reached
• Re-engage customers using PassKit webhooks when pass activity declines
• Deliver rewards or mobile coupons when certain menu items are purchased

These workflows help link in-store behavior with mobile-first engagement.

Requirements

To use this integration, you will need:

• A PassKit account with a published pass project
• Access to Toast POS data:
  • Via exports or reports, or
  • Via the Toast API (only if the merchant’s Toast account has API access enabled)
• API credentials from PassKit Developer Tools
• An integration mechanism such as:
  • A custom script or backend
  • An automation platform (e.g., Zapier, Make, or similar) configured to call Toast APIs or process exported data
• Defined business rules for when passes should be issued, updated, or revoked

This setup can be customized to match the restaurant’s unique loyalty program structure.
