You can start preparing today by making sure your apps use StoreKit&nbsp;2 to handle your Apple&nbsp;In-App&nbsp;Purchases. <\/p>\n<h3>Request access to Bundles and Suites<\/h3>\n<p>Offer multiple subscriptions as a single Apple In-App Purchase in your apps with new Bundles and Suites capabilities. With Bundles, people can access multiple subscriptions in one purchase \u2014 across a single app, multiple apps from the same developer, or even spanning multiple developers\u2019 apps. With Suites, people get access to a single subscription that seamlessly works across a set of apps from a single developer.<\/p>\n<p>The App&nbsp;Store provides the purchase experience, which displays all apps included in your Bundle or Suite, so it\u2019s easy for people to download and access their subscription content right&nbsp;away.<\/p>\n<p>To get started, review our <a href=\"https:\/\/developer.apple.com\/app-store\/subscriptions\/bundles-and-suites\/\">Bundles&nbsp;and&nbsp;Suites page<\/a>, which includes eligible configurations, technical requirements, and how to submit a request form. Bundles&nbsp;and&nbsp;Suites will be available later this year in iOS&nbsp;27, iPadOS&nbsp;27, macOS&nbsp;27, tvOS&nbsp;27, or&nbsp;later.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/developer.apple.com\/app-store\/subscriptions\/bundles-and-suites\/\"><span class=\"icon icon-after icon-chevronright nowrap\">Offer Bundles&nbsp;and&nbsp;Suites<\/span><\/a> <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/developer.apple.com\/videos\/play\/wwdc2026\/210\/?time=530\"><span class=\"icon icon-after icon-chevronright nowrap\">Bundles&nbsp;and&nbsp;Suites video<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Multiseat purchasing enabled in App&nbsp;Store&nbsp;Connect<\/h3>\n<p>Multiseat purchases make it easy for organizations and groups to buy your subscriptions in bulk through Volume&nbsp;Purchasing and Group&nbsp;Purchases. This presents you with an opportunity to expand your subscription beyond single users, as small businesses and specific work groups or departments can access your subscription without having to go through additional administrative workflows.<\/p>\n<p>With Volume Purchasing, organizations that use Apple&nbsp;Business and Apple&nbsp;School&nbsp;Manager can buy your subscriptions through a single Apple&nbsp;In-App&nbsp;Purchase and assign seats using a device management provider. <\/p>\n<p>With Group&nbsp;Purchases, a subscriber can buy multiple seats in a single Apple&nbsp;In-App&nbsp;Purchase and invite others to join. Apple handles any seat assignment and the invitation flow, to let groups \u2014 like small businesses, individual departments, or teams \u2014 easily access your subscriptions.<\/p>\n<p>This opens your subscription to users who don&#8217;t fit the traditional single-subscriber model: a work team splitting the cost of a productivity app, a small business outfitting a handful of employees, a department within a larger company, or a group of collaborators sharing access to a creative tool. Any of these groups can become paying subscribers today, without going through IT or procurement.<\/p>\n<p>Starting today, multiseat purchases are enabled by default for subscriptions in App&nbsp;Store&nbsp;Connect. You have full control over availability and can disable multiseat purchases entirely, or selectively manage availability across the App&nbsp;Store, Apple&nbsp;Business, and Apple&nbsp;School&nbsp;Manager.<\/p>\n<p>Volume&nbsp;Purchasing launches on October 22, 2026, and Group&nbsp;Purchases will launch this winter.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/developer.apple.com\/help\/app-store-connect\/manage-subscriptions\/manage-pricing-for-auto-renewable-subscriptions\/\">Manage purchase options for an <span class=\"icon icon-after icon-chevronright nowrap\">auto-renewable subscription<\/span><\/a> <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/developer.apple.com\/videos\/play\/wwdc2026\/391\/\">Offer subscriptions to <span class=\"icon icon-after icon-chevronright nowrap\">groups and&nbsp;organizations<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discover how you can expand the reach of your subscriptions with new features in iOS&nbsp;27.
