Apple unveils new online store for resellers

Apple has launched a revamped new online store serving business-to-business resellers, including corporations, schools and Apple Consultants.

这个新推出的苹果在线商店允许具有苹果帐号的机构或个人进行订购。

某个集团的个人用户可以进入在线商店并创建订单请求，之后会有经过授权的采购方进行审核并生成订单。

苹果在线商务商店面向的是全球范围内的公司、校园、专业咨询机构、培训中心，可让这些用户直接与苹果建立关系。

Apple Store for Resellers Now Open for Business

The Apple Store for Resellers has seen some modifications recently, with Apple adding the possibility to create templates for common orders which can be used by authorized purchasing agents from corporations, schools, or by consultants.

A report by AppleInsider points out to the revamped store, informing that consultants and institutions with an Apple account can set up online orders via templates, whether they are the ones creating them, or whether they choose an existing one.

Order status for recent purchases is also tracked by the new system.
