Overview

Enable fast access to Vaccine Cards by using the Google Wallet API. The Google Wallet API makes it easy for your users to add their records to Google Wallet on their phones, providing easy access.

Add to phone from your app or mobile website

Test records can be stored on the user's Android-powered device, and only support flows that originate on a mobile device and attempt to add the card to the Google Wallet.

Device unlock required to access Vaccine Card

Google Wallet requires the user's device to be unlocked to add or view a record. If the user hasn't already set up screen lock, Google Wallet prompts the user to set up screen lock when they attempt to add a record.

Test records present explicit, country-specific consent to the user during the Add to Google Wallet flow. Users must accept this consent to add the card to their wallet.

Easy access through Android Home screen shortcut

Users can create an Android Home screen shortcut for easy access. After the user adds the record, they're prompted to save a shortcut to their device's Home screen.
