Distributions

Distributions are how you get passes into your customers' hands. Set up a signup page, connect email delivery, and start collecting new members — all without any coding.

What is a Distribution?

A distribution is a complete pass delivery system that includes:

  • Landing Page — A signup form where customers enter their info
  • Email Template — An automated email with the pass download link
  • Pass Creation — Automatic generation of personalized passes

How It Works

Creating a Distribution

Step 1: Basic Setup

Give your distribution a name and select which pass template to use:

Name: Loyalty Program Signup
Template: [Standard Loyalty Card ▼]
Project: [Loyalty Program ▼]

Step 2: Design the Landing Page

Customize the signup page to match your brand:

Content:

  • Headline (e.g., "Join Our Rewards Program")
  • Description (e.g., "Earn points on every purchase!")
  • Button text (e.g., "Get My Card")
  • Success message (e.g., "Check your email!")

Appearance:

  • Your logo
  • Background color or image
  • Button color
  • Text colors

The editor shows a preview so you can see exactly how it will look.

Step 3: Configure the Form

Choose what information to collect:

FieldRequired?Purpose
Full NameYesShows on the pass
EmailYesWhere to send the pass
PhoneOptionalSMS notifications
BirthdayOptionalBirthday rewards
Custom fieldsOptionalAny other info you need

Keep the form short — every extra field reduces signups.

Step 4: Set Up the Email

Design the email customers receive:

Email Settings:

  • Subject line: "Your Rewards Card is Ready!"
  • From name: "Acme Rewards"

Email Content:

  • Welcome message
  • Download button
  • Add to Wallet buttons (Apple & Google)
  • Any additional information

Step 5: Publish

When everything looks good, publish your distribution:

  • Draft → For testing and editing
  • Published → Live and accepting signups
  • Archived → Disabled, no longer accepting signups
