What does it mean?
Go City Card (https://gocity.com/en-us) is an activity destination pass that operates in different destinations along the world offering a list of activities included in a city card. Every card has an expiration date depending on the card type (1 Day, 2 Days, 5 Days, etc.).
Palisis devices are able to scan the QR code of the destination passes, recognize them as a voucher from the partner "GoCity [API]" and add into the basket the corresponding priceplan depending on the card type scanned (Adult, Child or familiarisation).
Example of voucher:

And 3 different variants (passenger types):

- Familiarisation (which is like a VIP pass that Go City uses for PR and marketing purposes. They are not family passes. Each pass would just admit one person).
