Barcode

  • Barcodes in Google Wallet can be customized with type, rendering encoding, value, alternate text, and display settings for code text.

  • The kind field is deprecated and should no longer be used.

  • showCodeText field controls text display when the barcode is hidden, often due to Smart Tap.

  • Barcode values can include an optional human-readable alternateText for accessibility.
