Mobile Pay Pass allows you to accept cashless payments on-site at your event to sell things like merchandise, upgrades, experiences and more! Accepting cashless on-site payments can increase your revenue by over 30%! Say goodbye to expensive and cumbersome hardware such as RFID and kiosks and hello to Mobile Pay Pass.

๐Ÿ“ฑ Download our Mobile Pay Pass app here. (IOS only)

Your attendees don't need to download an app, stand in long lines or do anything else cumbersome. They'll simply opt-into Mobile Pay Pass by creating a 4 digit pin after purchasing their tickets. Then, while at your event, your Mobile Pay Pass app will scan the attendee's ticket, ask for their PIN, and Voila! Their purchase is completed, using the card already on file.

Mobile Pay Pass is simply $0.25 per transaction.
