Setup guide – Now2Wallet

How do you want to add the wallet button?

Steps 1 & 2 are the same either way — this only changes step 3.

Install the plugin

In WordPress, go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin, choose the now2wallet.zip from your Now2Wallet account, then Install and Activate. There is no vendor/ to build — it's a plain drop-in.

Paste your API key

Go to Settings → Now2Wallet and:

Paste your Now2Wallet API key (format key_id.secret).
Tick Google Wallet and/or Apple Wallet.
Set your brand name, colours, logo and labels — this is how every pass will look.
Save.

That's the whole connection. Apple and Google certificates live centrally with Now2Wallet — you never touch them.

Add the button to your ticket

No code — recommended. The wallet buttons are already built into our ticket theme. You just upload it and select it.

Download the Now2Wallet ticket theme (now2wallet-ticket-theme.zip) from your Now2Wallet account.
In WordPress: FooEvents → Ticket Themes → “Upload Ticket Theme” → choose the ZIP.
Edit your event → Ticket Settings → set HTML Ticket Theme (and PDF) to “Now2Wallet Ticket Theme” → Update.

Done — the wallet buttons appear automatically in the ticket. No file editing, and it survives updates.

Keeping your own custom ticket theme? Add this single line to its ticket.php, inside the ticket block (right after the QR / “Add to calendar” section):

<?php if ( function_exists('now2wallet_buttons') && ( empty($ticket['type']) || $ticket['type'] !== 'PDF' ) ) echo now2wallet_buttons( $ticket['ID'] ); ?>

Its ticket.php lives in the update-safe folder wp-content/uploads/fooevents/themes/<your-theme>/ticket.php. Back up the file first, paste the line, save. The $ticket['type'] !== 'PDF' check keeps the buttons out of the PDF (they can't be tapped there).

Test it

Place a test order (or resend a ticket) and open the ticket. The mail now shows Add to Apple Wallet and Add to Google Wallet buttons. One tap and the pass is in the wallet — the QR value is the FooEvents ticket ID, so your Check-ins app scans it unchanged.

Optional: show the ticket at the venue Apple Wallet

Apple Wallet can surface the ticket on the lock screen when the attendee is near your venue (about 150 m) — no extra app and no push setup, it’s built right into the pass.

Go to Settings → Now2Wallet and, under “Location hint”, tick “Show at the venue”.
In Google Maps, find the venue, right-click the exact spot and click the coordinates at the top of the menu — that copies something like 49.1234, 8.5678. Paste it into Coordinates.
Optionally add a hint text (e.g. “Welcome! Your ticket is here.”) and a radius in metres (default 150).
Save.

Apple Wallet only. Google Wallet no longer supports reliable location-based notifications, so this applies to Apple passes. It takes effect once Apple Wallet is enabled on your account — you can fill it in now and it works automatically the moment Apple goes live.

Troubleshooting

No buttons in the ticket? Check that the plugin is active, that Google/Apple is ticked in Settings → Now2Wallet, and that your event uses the Now2Wallet ticket theme (no-code path) — or, if you kept your own theme, that its ticket.php has the snippet.
“API not reachable” / pass doesn't open? Re-check the API key (no extra spaces). It has the form key_id.secret.
Buttons show but look wrong? Adjust colours, logo and labels under Settings → Now2Wallet — they apply to every new pass.
