Summary

Near Field Communication (NFC) / Wallet credentials allow a user to add a supported Wavelynx Wallet mobile pass to Google Wallet and use an Android device as an NFC-based access credential.

After OnCAFE issues the NFC/Wallet credential, the user must activate the pass from the OnCAFE mobile app and add it to Google Wallet before using it at supported readers.

This article provides instructions on claiming an NFC/Wallet credential on Android.
