SimpleSi Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Got some more Ipads in a school and thinking of going legit and joining VPP Can schools sign up and purchase through normal school purchase orders rather than using a credit card of paypal? Simon
Lewys Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 As far as I am aware purchase order sales are only available in the United States.
SimpleSi Posted February 13, 2014 Author Posted February 13, 2014 So schools in UK use a credit card? Simon
Abaddon Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 So schools in UK use a credit card? Simon Yes, at present.
woreilly Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 Apple (United Kingdom) - iPad in Education - IT - Volume Purchase Programme According to this VPP UK homepage, you can use purchase orders now...but no instructions anywhere as to how...
ass17 Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 You have to contact Apple directly, they will give you details of where to send your Purchase Order to. Then they will credit your VPP account with "VPP Credit" to buy apps.

How long does the process take from contacting them to getting the Credit through?
ass17 Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 You will have to find a UK edu VPP contact number and give them a ring. We still use credit card so I cannot provide much more than I have so far, sorry

We still use credit card so I cannot provide much more than I have so far, sorry That's OK, you've answered a burning question either way. I am currently waiting for a chat session to find out what number I need to call or address I need to email! If it is the same number regardless of who you are then I will post it up here for others to see!
Edu-IT Posted June 6, 2014 Posted June 6, 2014 I spoke with Apple about this very thing and was told you have to jump through hoops to get an Apple purchasing account, and then if you do, it's further hoops. Apparently later on this year resellers will be able to sell VPP credit which will make it easier. Did you get a similar story?
Marshall_IT Posted June 7, 2014 Posted June 7, 2014 I don't see the big issue about using a credit card, I just go to our finance manager with my vpp login, click the app I want into the basket and she pays. My only gripe is that you can only purchase one app at a time.
