Buy apps in volume.
Streamline your purchasing process and put more power and productivity in the hands of your workforce. Every paid app in the App Store is available for businesses to buy in volume through the programme website. Simply search for the apps you need, enter the quantity you want to buy and complete the transaction with your corporate credit card. Apps are available for purchase at the same price listed in the App Store.
Get custom B2B apps.
Custom B2B apps are built just for you by third-party developers and business partners to address a specific business process, integrate with a unique back-office environment or deliver a custom interface for your users. Using the Volume Purchase Programme, you can securely and privately download custom B2B apps for iPhone and iPad that make your business even more effective. Pricing for custom B2B apps is set by the developer and can be either free or paid.
If you are a developer who is enrolled in the iOS Developer Programme, you can create custom B2B apps for customers who are enrolled in the Volume Purchase Programme.

The Volume Purchase Programme makes it easy to distribute apps within your organisation. When you buy apps in volume or custom B2B apps, you will receive redemption codes for each app. You can control who gets the apps by providing these codes to users via email or an internal website. You can also use third-party Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions to manage redemption codes centrally.
