Apple Business Manager and IAP

Hi folks,


I'm offering a freemium app with an IAP option to unlock features from macOS App Store. Now I was contacted by a company interested in purchasing some licenses, and distributing it to their users by Apple Business Manager. According to them the app's IAP cannot be centrally purchased / distributed.


Is Apple Business Manager supporting In-App purchases, and if so are there any specific configurations etc. to follow?


Any help appreciated, Mattes

Did you ever find a solution? I'm facing exactly the same issue.

Can anyone from apple respond to this? If there is no solution I guess the only way would be to have a hidden unlock feature with external licenses, but technically this isn't allowed by the appstore policies. So what's the "official" way of doing these things?

  • I wasn't following up as the customer's demand wasn't confirmed. But to my knowledge the only official way would be a separate app version. Didn't hear anything back from Apple, but found a corresponding blog entry by another developer in the same boat.
