Common Questions
What if I don't receive the email?
First, check your spam or junk folder. If it's not there, go to your Dashboard and look under 'Recent Passes' - you can download it from there too!
Can I edit a pass after I create it?
No, once a pass is created, it cannot be edited. You would need to create a new pass with the changes. This uses 1 credit for standard passes or 5 credits for hybrid passes.
What happens to hybrid passes after 1 year?
After 1 year, the online viewing link expires and the pass photo is deleted. The pass will still work in Apple Wallet if you added it, but you won't be able to view it online anymore.
Can I upgrade a standard pass to hybrid?
No, you must choose standard or hybrid when creating the pass. To get the hybrid features, you'll need to create a new hybrid pass (5 credits).
What happens if my credits expire?
Credits expire 1 year after purchase. Any unused credits after 1 year cannot be used. We recommend creating all your passes within the year!
Can I get a refund?
Yes! Any unused credit pack may be refunded within 30 days of purchase. Email us at support@imagetopass.com to request a refund.
