How to Pay for Subscription in 'Free' App

[Justin-F1]

So a facility manager asked me to install an app from the store, no issue there, but it ends up that the app has a paid subscription even though it's 'free' on the app store.

Is there a setting you can adjust to allow for an Enterprise deployment or something like that? I don't want to enable purchasing on the device and then associate it with my account.

I know how to deploy paid apps through the Apple Business Manager but this isn't something I've done yet. Enabling a subscription on a free app.

@Justin-F1  Sorry but in-app purchases are not supported on app's purchased via VPP and deployed using an MDM. 

I would contact the app developer and ask them to make a paid version of the app for VPP which is what they are supposed to do.

@Justin-F1  This is not possible. You should get in touch with the app developer to find out the best method for mass deployment of their app. (sometimes the app has this information right on their website).
