May
Support for different barcode types
We’ve added support for different barcode types, including code128
, pdf417
, and aztec
.
You can now select the barcode type from a dropdown when creating a pass and set the default barcode type for a pass template on dashboard.
Improved team access controls
Admins can now invite and remove team members, no longer limited to the lead account. A new “member” role offers view-only access.

Additional app linking options
Apple
Passes now support multiple App Store links, displaying the first available app in the passholder’s country.
Added customisable display text for Google App links on the front of passes.
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.

Auto-format notification links
When sending a notification with a link, the link will now be formatted automatically so it is clickable on both Apple and Google, without needing to know the device type.

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.
