SEOOKE.com: A visit to your local Apple Store during the holiday season can
be maddening. The stores are overrun with other shoppers, there’s a mob around
each gadget table, and waiting for your turn to be helped by an Apple Store
employee takes eons. While we generally like the Apple Store’s “no register”
system, it can be a real headache during busy periods.
Bring your iOS device to the Apple Store, because the Apple Store app is
a handy guide for holiday shopping. The app shows you where the nearest Apple
Store is, lets you search for product availability at specific stores, and
allows you to purchase items yourself.
The Apple Store app also has a feature called Express Checkout that lets you
directly purchase items from the online Apple Store by quickly entering your Apple
ID and password. Designate whether you’d like to pick the item up in a store or
have it shipped. The app bills the card on file that’s linked to your Apple ID
and will ship to the address on file as well; you can adjust these settings by
selecting Edit in the app itself at checkout.
If you’re just purchasing accessories or other small gifts, there’s no need
to wait for assistance at the store. The Apple Store app has a feature called
EasyPay, which is essentially a self-checkout system. Customers scan items with
the iPhone’s camera and pay using the credit card associated with their Apple
ID. While EasyPay is limited to accessories and non-Apple products—you can’t
use it to buy an iPhone, MacBook, or any other piece of Apple hardware—it can
certainly eliminate your wait time, since you don’t need a “blue shirt” to help
you out.
Before using EasyPay, make sure you enable the app’s push notifications and
location settings. EasyPay will work only within an Apple Store, so if
your location settings are disabled, the app won’t recognize that you’re in a
store and won’t grant access to the EasyPay feature.
Once the Apple Store home screen pops up within the app, tap EasyPay.
(This home screen also lets you make a Genius Bar appointment, ping an employee
for additional checkout help, and sign up for in-store workshops.) Next, scan
the barcode using your iPhone’s camera. Once the item is recognized, a product
page displays more information about the item scanned. The item will be charged
to the credit card associated with your Apple ID and iTunes account, so make
sure you have that card with you—before you can complete the purchase, you must
enter the card’s security code. The app emails you a copy of your receipt and
stores another copy within a section of the app.
It allows only one item to be checked out a time, which might actually
slow your shopping down if you have several items on your holiday list. Be
prepared to enter your Apple ID and password multiple times and to have a bevy
of receipts sitting in your inbox. Additionally, EasyPay works only on the
iPhone 4/4S and the iPhone 5, and requires iOS 4.2 or higher.
