Passmeister Google Wallet and Apple Wallet NFC Reader App

The Passmeister app is the easiest way to read Apple Wallet and Google Wallet NFC passes with your Zebra Technologies device.

Reading NFC passes on Zebra devices can be a bit tricky, as each user needs to develop their own Android app. (See also "Zebra Apple Wallet NFC Configuration" and "Zebra Google Wallet NFC Configuration".)

With the Passmeister app, you can start reading your NFC passes in just a few minutes.

Getting Started

First, install the Zebra VAS Service (for example: ZVS-Service-release-2.0.0.apk), which is included in the Zebra Value Added Services (VAS) SDK: https://www.zebra.com/us/en/support-downloads/software/mobile-computer-software/value-added-services-sdk.html

Next, install the Passmeister app from the Google Play Store:

Setup

In your Passmeister account ("Pass Settings / API Keys"), add an API key of the type "NFC reader device / app".

Scan the displayed QR code in the Passmeister app ("Settings / API Key / edit"). Your Zebra device is now ready to read your NFC passes!

To try it out without a Passmeister account, you can also scan the QR code above to read this demo pass: https://www.passmeister.com/wallet/1CN6tAANeiuhAtD6Cymq6f/AZzGGs4aBSaxb9P4R1p7XA

Supported Devices

Currently, the following Zebra devices are supported to read NFC passes from Apple Wallet and Google Wallet:

All devices are certified for Apple VAS and Google Smart Tap and can be used without any additional approval from Apple or Google.

For getting started, we recommend the especially compact and affordable Zebra TC22: https://www.zebra.com/us/en/products/spec-sheets/mobile-computers/handheld/tc22-tc27.html
