What is the 'Open in NeatPass' button on Apple Wallet passes?

When you export a pass from NeatPass to Apple Wallet, the pass includes a deep link on its back side. Open the back of the pass to find an 'Open in NeatPass' option that launches the app directly to that specific pass.

Do all wallet apps add deep links to exported passes?

No, most wallet apps do not include deep links back to the originating app. This is a unique feature of NeatPass that maintains the connection between your Wallet pass and the full-featured app.

Can I edit my pass after adding it to Apple Wallet?

Yes. Use the 'Open in NeatPass' link to jump back to the app, make your edits, then re-export the pass to Apple Wallet. The updated pass will replace the old one.

Does the deep link work if NeatPass is not installed?

If NeatPass is not installed, tapping the link will open the App Store page for NeatPass, allowing you to download the app and access your pass data.

Add 'Open in App' Deep Links to Your Apple Wallet Passes

Apple Wallet is great for quick access to passes. Double-click the side button, scan your barcode, done. But what if you need to edit something or access features that Wallet does not support?

NeatPass solves this with deep links. Every pass you export to Apple Wallet includes an "Open in NeatPass" button that takes you straight back to the app with one tap.

What Is a Deep Link?

A deep link is a special URL embedded in your Apple Wallet pass that opens a specific screen in an app. When you tap it, instead of opening a website, your iPhone launches NeatPass and navigates directly to that pass.

This means your Wallet pass is not a dead end. It is connected to your full pass library in NeatPass, with all the editing and customization features intact. Learn more about adding passes to Apple Wallet.

How to Access the Deep Link

Finding the link is simple:

Why This Matters

Most wallet apps that export to Apple Wallet create passes with no way back. Once your pass is in Wallet, it is disconnected from the original app. If you need to make changes, you have to find the pass again in the app manually.
