Card issuance limit

Cap how many of a card can be issued, for limited runs, founding-member offers, or capacity-limited programs.

The card issuance limit sets a maximum number of a card that can ever be issued. Once that many customers have the card, no one else can sign up for it. Use it for limited editions, a “first 100 members” offer, or any program with a hard capacity.

​

Turning it on

It is a setting on the card. You set it when you create a card or by editing an existing one.

1. Open the card's settings

   From Passes, open the card and click Edit Card. You are on the Settings tab.

2. Turn on Card Issuance Limit

   Switch on Card Issuance Limit (“Set a maximum number of cards that can be issued”).

3. Set the maximum

   In Maximum cards, enter the highest number of this card you want to issue.

4. Save

   Click Save. The limit is now enforced.

What happens at the limit

Every new sign-up counts toward the maximum. When the limit is reached:

• New customers who try to join see “Could not create card: Maximum number of issued cards reached” and cannot get the card.
• Customers who already have the card keep it and continue as normal.

To reopen sign-ups, edit the card and raise the Maximum cards number, or turn the limit off.

Leave the limit off for an open-ended program you want as many customers as possible to join.
