Create a standard pass

In this article, you'll learn how to create a standard pass.

Standard passes are used to sell:

• Event tickets for specific dates
• Day passes for single use (eg day admission to a theme park or event)
• Passes that guests can redeem one or more times during a period of time you have defined, such as multi-passes (eg every Sunday for the next month) or season and annual passes. 

Standard passes are not limited to a specific scheduled time and duration (eg the 9:30am session for 60 minutes). To create products for your time-based activities, see Create a session pass.
