CardToWallet
How can we help?
A few simple steps to keep your cards handy.
Add and use a card
- Open CardToWallet and choose Add card, then Scan card.
- Hold the entire barcode inside the camera view in good light. You can also enter a card number manually.
- Name the card, optionally add a logo or background photo, and save.
- Open the saved card and choose Show at scanner, or tap Add to Apple Wallet and confirm the Wallet preview.
Common questions
Do I need an account or an internet connection?
No account is required. Saved cards can be displayed in the app offline. Creating an Apple Wallet pass requires an internet connection and a supported physical iPhone.
Why won’t my card scan?
Use good lighting, avoid glare, and keep the whole barcode visible. Move the camera slightly closer or farther away. Allow camera access for CardToWallet in iPhone Settings. The current release supports Code 39, Code 128, QR, Aztec, and PDF417; other formats and some barcode variants are not supported.
Why does the reader reject my digital card?
Some readers cannot scan phone screens or only accept the original barcode format. Increase screen brightness and display the full barcode. For wide barcodes, rotate your phone if the app requests it. On older iOS versions, Wallet may use a compatible barcode format; try Show at scanner in CardToWallet to display the original. Card issuer restrictions can also affect acceptance.
Keep your physical card until you have tested the digital version. The app cannot copy NFC/RFID chips or rotating security codes.
Why can’t I add a card to Apple Wallet?
Check your internet connection and try again on your iPhone. Our service verifies the app and limits requests to prevent abuse. If you have made several attempts, wait before retrying. If the problem continues, email us with the exact error message.
Avoid deleting the app as a troubleshooting step: doing so can remove locally saved cards.
Why does my Wallet pass look different?
Apple Wallet controls the pass layout. Card colors and artwork are adapted to its supported image areas, so the result can differ from the card shown in the app.
How do I remove my data?
Delete a saved card in CardToWallet to remove it from the app. A pass already added to Apple Wallet must be removed separately in Wallet. Device backups are managed through your Apple settings. For privacy questions, contact us below.
Can I use this as an official ID or payment card?
CardToWallet stores supported static barcodes. It does not create official digital identity credentials, payment cards, or new access rights. Use only cards you are authorized to use.
Still need a hand?
Email samearth.net@gmail.com with your iPhone model, iOS version, app version, and what happened. Include the error text if available.
