Suggest Edits


Overview

With Experiences, you can provide collectors with exclusive access to real-life events and experiences.

How it Works

We use our own proprietary scanning app in conjunction with the experience utility to set up the token gating solution for your real-life event. Gating a real-life experience requires the following steps:

  1. The CMS Admin enables Experiences
  2. The CMS Admin reaches out to Support to provide images for the pass
  3. The CMS Admin sets up the experience inside the CMS.
  4. The tokens selected for the experience will automatically gain a special icon on them, notifying the user an experience is available for the listings or series.
  5. Holders of the token can then add the pass to their Apple or Google wallet.
  6. Lastly, you'll use the link set up in the experience to verify the attendee's QR code to authenticate the token required for access at the event.

Step 1: Reach out to Gigantik Support with Pass Icons

Three separate images need to be provided in order to set up the look of the pass. These icons should match your platform branding to maintain consistency. Please send the three images in the format listed below to [email protected]. These images only need to be provided once.

Note

It's possible to use the image minted for a listing as the background image for Apple Wallet pass. Simply select the option under Advanced Settings in the individual listing.

Step 2: Set up the Experience

Note:

You must choose either series or listings and cannot select both simultaneously. If you try to switch between the two, a warning message will be displayed.

Step 3: Scan the Pass at the Event

At the top right of the page in the experience that was created, you'll see the URL for the scanner app. Keep in mind, this URL will be unique per Experience.
