What a multi-visit pass is
A multi-visit pass lets a customer pre-pay for a set number of visits, with one visit drawn down each time they enter. A ten-visit swim pass, for example, is paid for once and then counts down by one on each entry until it is used up.
It sits between casual entry and a membership. Casual entry is paid one visit at a time, and a membership gives ongoing access for a recurring fee. A multi-visit pass is a fixed block of visits bought up front, which gives the customer a better rate than paying each time while keeping the flexibility of not committing to an ongoing membership. For the operator, it brings revenue forward and encourages repeat visits.
The pass has to track its remaining balance accurately, so that entry is allowed while visits remain and stopped once the pass is exhausted.
Multi-visit passes in the Cohiva platform
Cohiva Complex handles passes, memberships, point of sale and access control in one platform. A multi-visit pass is sold through point of sale, its balance is tracked as visits are used, and access control draws a visit down on entry. Because the pass, the sale and the gate all sit in one system, the visits a customer has paid for and the visits they have left stay in step rather than being tracked by hand.
