Custom NFC source for passes and setting NFC defaults at template level
When creating a pass via dashboard, you can now select the NFC source from a dropdown. This allows you to use a custom NFC source for your pass. You can also set the default NFC source for a pass template, which will be used when creating a new pass from that template.
Custom pass download success message
We’ve added a new feature that allows you to customize the success message that is displayed when a pass is downloaded. This feature is available in the pass download page editor.
Loyalty Info Now Visible on Scans
We’ve added loyalty data to the /scans
and /scans/log
endpoints – meaning loyalty actions are now logged at the scan level and visible in the ‘Scans’ section on the dashboard. You can now validate a pass and manage loyalty in a single request, with support for add
, redeem
, override
, and stamp
operations.
VTAP Automatic Reader Setup
You can now set up your VTAP readers automatically via the PassEntry Dashboard – no need to access VTAP Cloud. The setup takes just a few minutes.

Dashboard Redesign
We’ve redesigned the Dashboard to improve visibility, filtering, and performance. The update includes top-level stats, and enhanced Passes, Scans, and Messaging sections with detailed breakdowns and flexible date range controls (7 days, 1 month, 6 months, all time). We’ve also made performance improvements for faster loading.

January
Third Party Validation
We’ve added support for third-party validation. This allows you to use your own validation logic, such as a QR code scanner, to validate passes.
