The Digital Wallet Membership Card and Member Wizard Scanning app
What is the Digital Wallet Card and what can it do?
The digital wallet card is a membership card which can be stored in either the member’s Google or Apple wallet. When scanned with the downloadable Member Wizard Scanner application, it identifies the member’s name, member number, paid to date and organisation and contains a QR code which when scanned will display the functions listed below.
1. Validate Card – both Google and Apple warn organisations with digital member cards that in a number of cases the paid to date of the member as it appears on the card face may not be correct. In addition there are a number of ways of “spoofing” a membership card. They warn that the only reliable way of ensuring that a card is correct and that the member is paid to the date stated on the card is to scan the QR code. This will display the same type of information that appears on the card plus a member image if that has been uploaded to the member record in the Admin Portal.
2. Class Attendance - provided the scanner app is running on a device registered to a person identified as a Tutor in Member Wizard, the Tutor will be able to select their class and scan the member’s digital card to mark them in attendance for that class for that particular instance of the class.
3. Check Event registration – provided the scanner app is running on a device registered to a person identified as the Organiser of an Event in Member Wizard, they will be able to view the ticket details associated with that particular member and record their event attendance. If the Event does not have the Registration Required box checked, the scanner will simply record the details of each person scanned on enter. A warning sound will be heard if the member is not Active or if the Require Registration button is checked then the scanner will emit a warning tone if the person has not registered for that event.
How does my organisation gain access to a digital card for our members?
1. Login in to your organisation’s Admin Portal. Select the menu item labelled Optional Features.
2. Select Digital Wallet Card and check the box marked ”I wish to setup a digital wallet card for my organisation”.
3. An invoice for $150 being $50 for setup and $100 per annum (plus GST) will be emailed to either the Office Administrator Email Address nominated in Settings/Organisation Details on the Email tab or should that not exist then to the email address of the User currently logged into Member Wizard.
4. Once this invoice is created a new menu item will appear under the Digital Wallet Card menu which will allow you to select a colour for the background of your card. We suggest you use a lighter colour as the text will appear as black on the card background.
5. You will need to load up an image on the logo tab for the card which must be 660 x 660 px. If you have problems creating a suitable logo please email support@memberwizard.com.au for assistance. Format of the image can be either .png or .jpg
6. You will need to select the membership types you wish to be able to access the Digital Wallet Card.
How to members gain access to their Digital Wallet Card?
1. Those members who’s membership type is approved to access and create a digital wallet card will see an additional button in their Member Portal to allow them to generate their digital wallet card and store it in either their Google or Apple wallets.
2. If a member becomes Inactive then the card will automatically be disabled in their wallet.
How do we gain access to the Scanner app for the digital card?
1. A link and authority number can be emailed to the individual member who will be required to scan member cards - usually a Tutor but could also be an Event organiser or someone assisting these two roles. With the link and the authorisation number they will be able to download the install the scanner app on either their phone or tablet.
How does the Scanner App work?
1. Once downloaded the user simply needs to start the scanner app running on their device and select which function they wish to use – Validate card, Mark attendance (if they are a registered Tutor) or Check Event Registration (if they are the registered Organiser of an event).
2. The scanner user will then be asked if they want Single or Continuous mode.
3. With Single Mode the scanner app will hone in and read the QR code on the member’s digital card, you will need to click Scan for each card presented in this mode.
4. With Continuous Mode multiple readings can take place one after the other.
5. The card needs to be held within 30cm of the scanner app.
