Add subscription payment information in Apple Business Essentials
When setting up Apple Business Essentials for the first time, you’re prompted to add a payment method that is used for your monthly subscription. If you select plans with AppleCare+ for Business Essentials, this is also used for any paid repairs. Any user with the role of Administrator can review all your organization’s subscription payment and billing information.
Note: A separate payment method is used to purchase apps in Apple Business Essentials. See Review content payment and billing information.
