FLEXIPASS GUIDE · GOOGLE WALLET HOTEL KEYS
Google Wallet hotel room keys
tap your Android phone at the door
FLEXIPASS Wallet Keys are a Google Wallet hotel room key solution: the hotel sends a secure link, the guest adds the room key to Google Wallet on a supported Android phone and taps the phone at the reader. The same Wallet Keys work in Apple Wallet on iPhone and Apple Watch. FLEXIPASS lists Wallet Keys for ASSA ABLOY Vingcard locks on VOSTIO with wallet-capable readers, and keycards stay available as a fallback.
How does a Google Wallet room key work?
- FLEXIPASS issues the key for the room and the stay once the check-in requirements are met.
- The guest receives a secure link by email, SMS or the hotel’s guest app.
- The guest adds the key to Google Wallet on a supported Android phone and taps it at the reader.
