How can I use NFC technology to send a link included in an event pass in my Apple Wallet to another smarphone?

I have an event pass saved in my Apple Wallet. This evnt pass includes a QR code that is linked with a web page. So when someone scans this QR code, it opens up a specific web page on the iphone's browser. I need to find out how to send this link from the previously-mentioned event pass which saved in my apple wallet to a near by smartphone, via NFC technology, instead of simply sending the event pass to the other smartphone. Can this be done somehow??

No, NFC is very short range and generally limited to one or two inches. The receiving phone would need an app to receive the NFC signal and translate the data into an image usable for display on the screen.

What kind of distance are you thinking, further than a couple of inches?

You’d need an App developer to create an app to do what you’re describing. Only a secure app or website can add a pass or ticket to Apple Wallet. A QR code can contain a link to a website. In theory tapping two iPhones could trigger an exchange or transfer of data.

At this point you need to talk to an experienced Apple iOS app developer. They’ll be able to best discuss the feasibility of your ideas.

Hello and thank you for your answer.

Actually I am not struggling with what you described.

The two phones would be be next to each other, exactly as you use your credit card stored in your apple wallet in your phone, where you simply touch or approach the POS machine to connet and complete a transaction. What I am really asking for is whether I could configure somehow my apple wallet to transmit a URL through NFC technology from one phone to another. This URL will be stored within the QR Code of an an event pass that I will have saved in my Apple Wallet. So what I need is to have this event pass open in my apple wallet (like if I had chosen a credit card from my apple wallet and have set it up, ready to complete a payment for a transaction) and transmit it somehow to the other phone that will be nearby with NFC, in such a way that the other phone will recieve a notification to open a specific web page on the phone's browser. Can this be done somehow??
