Multiseat purchasing lets a customer buy your subscription in quantities greater than one. Each GroupEntry that the Get Customer Groups endpoint returns includes a groupType, which identifies which form of multiseat purchase the customer’s access comes from:

  • ORGANIZATION indicates Volume Purchasing. An organization that uses Apple Business Manager or Apple School Manager bought your subscription and assigns seats using a device management provider.

  • CONSUMER indicates Group Purchases. A subscriber bought multiple seats and invited others to join.

For more information, see Manage purchase options for an auto-renewable subscription.
