How to Purchase office 365 subscription from mac appstore instead of from Microsoft website

I have an existing subscription of Microsoft office 365 for MacBook purchased on Microsoft account website.

But I wish to purchase it from Apple Mac AppStore instead of from Microsoft website.

Is it possible to purchase the office 365 subscription from Mac App Store instead of from Microsoft website.

You would need to cancel your current subscription and completely delete* the MS versions of the Office apps. They ARE NOT compatible;e with the Mac App Store.


Then you could get Office 360 through the Mac App Store and in-app purchases in each of the Mac App Store versions of the apps.


*You may need to use something such as AppCleaner to get all of the files for each app.
