Want the educational discount?

By On · Add Comment · In General

Here’s how your school or college can get an educational discount on iPhone and iPad apps – including ours – and really make a difference.  And if that doesn’t work for you, contact us directly and we’ll work out a special program for our apps that suits your needs.

App Store Volume Purchase Program

The Volume Purchase Program makes it easy for educational institutions to purchase iOS apps in volume and distribute those apps to users. The Volume Purchase Program also allows app developers to offer special pricing for purchases of 20 apps or more

Purchase Volume Vouchers

Volume Vouchers can be purchased at the Apple Store for Education in denominations of $100, $500, $1000, $5000, $10,000. These vouchers can be bought on behalf of the educational institution by an Authorized Purchaser, and they may use purchase orders. The Authorized Purchaser is often a purchasing agent at the institution. You should receive your Volume Vouchers in the mail within 3 to 5 business days.*

Redeem Volume Vouchers

Institutions can designate one or more “Program Facilitators” to redeem Volume Vouchers and purchase apps through the App Store Volume Purchase Program.* The Program Facilitators can be anyone chosen by the Authorized Purchaser — a dean, a professor, a school principal, or a teacher, for example — or the Authorized Purchaser may also fulfill this role.

How to redeem Volume Vouchers to purchase apps:

  1. Create a new Apple ID for the App Store Volume Purchase Program. These are separate accounts from personal iTunes accounts and won’t be able to access the App Store to download applications, music, or any other content.
  2. Search for and purchase apps in variable quantities, up to the dollar limit of the voucher amount. The institution’s tax status will be recognized and billed accordingly.
  3. The Program Facilitator will receive an email with a link to a dashboard, now populated with app-specific codes. These codes can be distributed to users for redemption at the App Store.
