Expired Gift cards

Setting passes as expired logically groups expired passes under the "Passes" tab of the Google Wallet app. There's an "Expired passes" section in the Google Wallet app that contains all archived or inactive passes.

A pass is moved to the "Expired passes" section if at least one of the following conditions is true:

  • When the object.validTimeInterval.end.date expires the pass moves to "Expired passes" anytime up to 24 hours after.
  • The state of the object object.state field is marked as Expired, Inactive, or Completed.

The following code sample demonstrates expiring a pass object using the Google Wallet API.

Java

/**
 * Expire an object.
 *
 * <p>Sets the object's state to Expired. If the valid time interval is already set, the pass will
 * expire automatically up to 24 hours after.
 *
 * @param issuerId The issuer ID being used for this request.
 * @param objectSuffix Developer-defined unique ID for this pass object.
 * @return The pass object ID: "{issuerId}.{objectSuffix}"
 * @throws IOException
 */
public String ExpireObject(String issuerId, String objectSuffix) throws IOException {
  // Check if the object exists
  try {
    service.giftcardobject().get(String.format("%s.%s", issuerId, objectSuffix)).execute();
  } catch (GoogleJsonResponseException ex) {
    if (ex.getStatusCode() == 404) {
      // Object does not exist
      System.out.println(String.format("Object %s.%s not found!", issuerId, objectSuffix));
      return String.format("%s.%s", issuerId, objectSuffix);
    } else {
      // Something else went wrong...
      ex.printStackTrace();
      return String.format("%s.%s", issuerId, objectSuffix);
    }
  }

  // Patch the object, setting the pass as expired
  GiftCardObject patchBody = new GiftCardObject().setState("EXPIRED");

  GiftCardObject response =
      service
          .giftcardobject()
          .patch(String.format("%s.%s", issuerId, objectSuffix), patchBody)
          .execute();

  System.out.println("Object expiration response");
  System.out.println(response.toPrettyString());

  return response.getId();
}
