Barcode formats

Barcode formats

Wallet passes support four barcode formats. You set the format in the Barcode & NFC section of the template editor.

  • QR Code
  • Aztec
  • PDF417
  • Code 128

Code 128 works on iOS 7 and later. If a customer runs an older iOS version, the pass falls back to a QR, Aztec or PDF417 code so it still scans.

You can also create a pass without a barcode.
