All passes need to be signed with an Apple-issued certificate to be recognized by Passbook. Passes should only be signed by the entity that will be distributing the pass under its own name, trademark, or brand, and that entity’s information should match the information on the back of the pass. It should be obvious to users who the originator of the pass is based on the branding on the front of the pass, and that branding should be consistent with the contact information on the back of the pass.
If you want to hire a contractor to assist you in developing a pass, then you will need to add the contractor to your development team and the pass must still be signed by the entity that is distributing the pass under its name, trademark, or brand. Keep in mind that passes can only be accessed by apps developed using the same team account, and that have the appropriate entitlements. So if you intend to use a companion app in conjunction with your passes, be sure to use the same development team.

We created the app as part of RailsRumble and are not using it for monetization, we are also doing some spikes to see if it'll be possible for people to upload their Certificates and we generate the Passes on their behalf?
Probably we'll be generating the CSR's and having the users use the generated CSR to get signed certs from Apple and upload them back to us.

Again, we haven't yet launched this officially.
Hope this helps! :D
Also, great work.
We are going to make this product even more awesome-er! (If that's the word! :) )
Once this is lifted - We have tons of features planned. :)
