Can subscriptions be bought in bulk with Apple School Manager?

Did you figure this out? I have the same question. Trying to find out if Apple School Manager supports subscriptions (IAPs). I have an app that schools and school districts want to purchase. How do they purchase a subscription in bulk?

Same question from me... does anyone know how you might offer subscription-based content to schools who use Apple School Manager to purchase and distribute apps to students? I called Apple support, who were very friendly, but the person I spoke to wasn't sure on the answer.

One solution I saw suggested setting the distribution method to "private" for School Manager users, who can then download the app for a price that matches whatever a year's subscription would be. I guess I'd need a system that meant at the end of a year they'd need to pay again to continue using the app if they wanted to. Not ideal in terms of admin etc. but better than nothing.

My understanding is that if the distribution method is set to private, you then have to add the IDs of organisations who are allowed to download it, so that's adding to the admin required even further.

If anyone has a solution they're aware of, I'd love to hear more.

Thanks.

Is it still the same one year later? Or are there any "workarounds" ? ;-)
