The attendee gets a \"Save to Google Wallet\" button on the WooCommerce\nThank You page, on the order-view page, and in the order-confirmation email.<\/p>\n\n<p>There is no third-party pass-hosting service and no subscription. Passes are built using\nyour own Google Wallet Issuer account and a service-account key you upload on the plugin's\nsettings screen. The event's name, date and venue, the ticket code, and the ticket holder's name and seat\n(when the ticket has them) are the only data placed on a pass.<\/p>\n\n<p>This is the free, Google Wallet only edition.

Creating the pass has to happen on Google's servers, because Google Wallet only accepts\npasses issued through its own API.<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>What it is used for:<\/strong> authenticating with your Google Cloud service account (https:\/\/oauth2.googleapis.com\/token), then creating and updating an event class and ticket object (https:\/\/walletobjects.googleapis.com\/walletobjects\/v1). The attendee's \"Save to Google Wallet\" button opens a link on https:\/\/pay.google.com\/gp\/v\/save\/.<\/li>\n<li><strong>What is sent, and when:<\/strong> the first time a ticket is issued, and again whenever you edit the event or the ticket is regenerated, the plugin sends the event name, date and venue, your pass styling (icon, logo text, background colour, organisation name), the ticket code and barcode value, and the ticket holder's name and seat if the ticket has them. Your service-account credentials are used to sign the requests and are sent only to Google's OAuth endpoint.
