Your loyalty cards in Apple Wallet
On iPhone, Wallet has no manual add for a store card: no photo import, no number to paste. It only accepts a signed .pkpass file. Flownect builds one for you, in three clicks.
On Android you don’t need us. Google Wallet digitises a card on its own — the walkthrough is below.
- 01
Scan
Your card’s barcode, or type the number. The format is recognised on its own.
- 02
Adjust
Name, retailer, colour, logo. Printed text is read inside your browser.
- 03
Add
A signed pass opens in Safari and the card lands in Wallet.
Card generator
Tap “Scan” to open the camera — nothing is requested before that.
The format is detected automatically.

On Android, it is already built in
Google Wallet digitises a loyalty card without any third-party tool. There are two routes, depending on whether your retailer is listed. Both happen inside the app, for free.
Your retailer is listed
Google knows thousands of loyalty programmes. If yours is one of them, this is the cleanest route: the card stays tied to the programme.
- Open the Google Wallet app.
- Tap “Add to Wallet”, then “Loyalty”.
- Search for the retailer and select it.
- Scan your existing card or enter your account number.
Your retailer is not listed
This is the common case for a local shop, a library or a gym. Google then reads the card straight from a photo.
- Photograph your card with the barcode sharp and fully visible.
- Open Google Wallet, tap “Add to Wallet”, then “Photo”.
- Pick the photo: the barcode and the text are recognised automatically.
- Give the card a name, then tap “Add”.
If the “Photo” option is missing, update Google Wallet from the Play Store. At the till, open the card and let the cashier scan your screen, exactly as with the plastic one.
Why iOS needs a tool
Wallet happily shows boarding passes, tickets and cards from partner retailers. What it cannot do is swallow the barcode of your plastic card. There is no “paste the number” field, no built-in scanner, no import from a photo. That is an Apple limitation, not a fault of your iPhone.
The only consumer route left is a cryptographically signed .pkpass file opened in Safari. That is exactly what this page produces, in seconds, with no app to install and no account to create.
What it changes
iPhone has no manual add
Without a signed pass your card stays in the drawer. We build that pass for you, in three clicks.
Nothing to install
No App Store, no account, no password to remember. Open the page and it is ready.
The scan reads text too
After the barcode, the retailer name and expiry date are recognised on the card, inside your browser.
Nothing leaves your phone
Text recognition is local. The number travels only long enough to sign the file, then it is forgotten.
Even without a retailer app
Supermarket, pharmacy, gym, library, café: if there is a barcode, it works.
The plastic stays at home
At the till, double-click the side button, the card appears, the cashier scans your screen.
Which cards work
Any card carrying a barcode or a QR code. The pass reuses the exact number printed on your plastic card, so the cashier scans it as usual and your points stay managed by the retailer.

Frequently asked questions
Why can’t I add the card myself in Apple Wallet?
Apple Wallet has no “add a barcode” button, no manual entry and no photo import for a store card. It requires a signed .pkpass file opened in Safari. That is what Flownect generates for you.
Why is there no Android button?
Because you do not need one. Google Wallet digitises a card natively, either by searching the retailer under “Loyalty” or by reading a plain photo of the card. An external tool would add nothing. The full walkthrough is on this page.
Is it really free?
Yes: no subscription, no premium tier, no watermark to unlock, no advertising inside the pass. No account to create either.
Do I need to install an app?
No, this is a website. On iPhone, open it in Safari: Wallet only accepts passes from Safari, never from Chrome or Firefox.
Is my card data stored?
No. Nothing is kept. The barcode and the text are read inside your browser. The number is transmitted only long enough to sign the pass, then it is forgotten. There is no account and no card database.
Do my loyalty points update?
No, by design. The pass carries the same barcode as your plastic card: the cashier scans it and the balance stays managed by the retailer, exactly as before.
Do I have to pick the barcode format?
No. The scanner identifies it on its own. When typing, the format is inferred from the number: EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, Code 128, Code 39 or QR.
The scan is blurry or finds nothing.
Put the barcode in the centre of the frame: wide-angle lens edges are often soft. Give autofocus a second to settle. Otherwise switch to manual entry, the result is identical.
The camera will not open.
Allow camera access in your browser settings, or use manual entry. Scanning requires HTTPS and a recent browser.
Can I add several cards?
Yes, as many as you like. Generate one pass per card: each arrives separately in Wallet and can have its own colour and logo.
