At the moment there are no companies that accept Passbook as a system of payment in their establishments. It is hoped that this will change according to pass the time, since Apple has long pull and there are a lot of people who could take advantage of this application. In addition, Passbook can go further and not be limited only to a payment system. It can also be used as a system of loyalty, gift cards cards or even to organize events. The possibilities are really very large, you just have to have a little bit of imagination and desire to do things.
Perhaps, the first company that should invest in your own application is Apple and begin to give greater prominence in its network of Apple Store. It seems that they are preparing to take the first step and accept Passbook as a means of payment, but could be used for many more things we see a few examples?
Imagine that you want to give to a family or friend an Apple Store Gift card. This would mean having to desplacerte to the store, buy the card and then give it to your friend. With Passbook all this could be done from a mobile phone or a computer, without having to leave home.
From the iPhone itself would purchase a card gift by the desired amount (payment would be automatic, since the account of Apple ID already know our credit card data) and a link would automatically be sent to our friend. As soon as you click on the link the card to be automatically included in Passbook is midiet. It would then already be in your hand go to the Apple Store to buy what you like.
When Apple introduces a new product it is usual forming queues in front of the stores. Employees of stores, to go ahead working often traverse the queue and delivering cards to then be exchanged for the device itself with the specifications you want customer.
This could be done perfectly with Passbook, since exchangeable card would be generated automatically and the customer would only have to queue to pick up your product, which previously booked and paid through your mobile phone.
Perhaps this point is not something useful to the vast majority of users, but could well be a use that Apple could give a Passbook. When the company organizes an event it could send the invitations to the press through Passbook and this invitation could serve to manage the position in the tail of each attendee.
The Apple Store often with sufficient staff to not have to wait too long, but even so Passbook could serve to help us save more time. When we go to an Apple Store to buy a product and we have clear what we want, we could configure it with Passbook and that automatically generates a card. Once done, we would only bring us closer to the store to search for the product and identify ourselves with the application.
The product is ready and will have the configuration that we have selected, so the process will be a little faster than if we have to wait for dependents to prepare him at the time.
Without a doubt the most logical step. Apple could leverage its booking system to the Genius Bar, the program One to One or the system of booking for workshops and integrate it with Passbook, in this way the customer may have a reminder of your appointment in the form of Passbook card.
There is no doubt that the Passbook possibilities are endless, just have to let your imagination and companies would have to think about and take advantage of its features for your business. Hopefully that they will slowly be realizing and decide to allow to use this great application in their establishments.
