App Purchasing in School

Leave a reply

Last term the only way schools could purchase apps via the Apple Volume Purchase Programme was with the school Purchase Card.

We now have a new facility where schools can purchase Credit for the Apple Volume Purchase Programme. Schools can purchase credit through Oracle using the information below.

 Volume Purchase Programme Credit via Oracle.

The company supplying the credit is XMA who are already in Oracle as our main iPad supplier.

Credit can be purchased in quantities of money e.g.

  1 = £1                       50 = £50                  100 = £100

Item Number for the Credit would be:                        D6701Z/A

The important part is that schools must supply the e-mail address that’s linked to their Apple Volume Purchase Programme.

An additional document with the above info is attached below for you to print off if required.
