Best way to purchase Half fare card and BOP that will allow addition to iphone apple wallet

Hi All, we will be traveling to Switzerland in the next few days. I Have already determined that the HFC and BOP is our best bet for travel cards. I would like to be able to place them in my iphone into the wallet. What is the best site or method for doing this? I am also thinking that I should print out and carry a hard copy of both in case my phone has an issue. My understanding when using the BOP on trains, cable cards etc. that you don't need a ticket, just show the BOP.

Thanks for all the help from this forum, I always learn something new!

I use Android, so this may not help.

We bought and used the Swiss Travel Pass --- holy COW! what a deal.

I simply saved the PDF to my phone and pulled it up if I was asked for it.

I use the TripIt app, which allows you to also save PDF docs to the trip details as needed.

We did exactly this last week.

I had already set up an account on the SBB website and purchased our half fare cards on there. They now appear in the app, and there was also the option to add them to the Apple Wallet, which I have done.

I purchased the BO Passes on their official site too and was easily able to access the email on my phone and add those passes to my Apple Wallet too.

I also have a point to point SBB ticket, plus three Saver Day Passes all in my wallet. It is looking pretty busy at the moment.
