Create Apple Wallet & Google Wallet Cards

To upload your digital wallet cards:

Go to your Communal Manager Dashboard
Click Settings on the left-hand side navigation
Click Membership Cards in the drop-down
Click + Create new card

You will be presented with a form with a set of fields. The fields are described below:

Name: Identifies the membership card within the system.
Active Start Date: Defines the start date for the card’s validity. When a membership is purchased, renewed, or assigned, it uses this date to determine if it falls within the active dates.
Active End Date: Specifies the end date for the card’s validity.
Applicable Memberships: Links the card to specific membership types that users purchase or are assigned.
Card Type: Determines whether the card will be issued as a PDF or for digital wallets (e.g., Apple Wallet, Google Wallet).
Logo Type (Digital Wallet Only): Allows users to use the default logo or upload a custom logo for the card.
Title Text (Digital Wallet Only): Customizes the title that appears on the card.
Card Background Colour (Digital Wallet Only): Customizes the card’s background colour for aesthetic and branding purposes.
Card Label Colour (Digital Wallet Only): Sets the colour for labels to enhance readability and design.
Card Text Colour (Digital Wallet Only): Customizes the text colour to ensure it is readable against the chosen background.

After saving your card, it is now live!

When a user purchases a membership they will be delivered an email with an Apple Wallet Pass, a link to download the Google Wallet Pass, and a PDF attachment of their member card. The user can also navigate to the My Memberships area to download the Apple Wallet Pass or the Google Wallet Pass.
