To submit an app to the App Store, you need to be a member of the Apple Developer Program ($99/year). If you haven’t signed up yet, create your Apple Developer account. If you already have one, skip the enrollment and proceed to the step of inviting Shopney as an admin. You also need an Apple ID with two-factor authentication enabled.
Enrollment requires the following:
• D-U-N-S Number
• Legal Entity Status
• Legal Binding Authority
• Website
Apple requires business owners to create an Apple Developer account and enroll in the Apple Developer Program to list their apps under your company’s name. For more info, refer to Apple's Developer Guidelines (section 4.2.6). Once set up, your app will be published under your account, giving you full control and ensuring your branding remains on the App Store listing.
The process has four main steps:
Apple ID & Two-Factor Authentication
D-U-N-S Number Process
Developer Program Enrollment
Inviting Shopney as Admin in iTunes
Let’s get started!
1- Apple ID & Two-Factor Authentication
To enroll your organization, you’ll need an Apple ID with two-factor authentication enabled. Apple requires this for security when joining the Developer Program.
Tip💡 We recommend using a separate Apple ID for your business if you don’t already have one. |
2- D-U-N-S Number Process
Your organization must have a D‑U‑N‑S Number to verify its identity and legal status with Apple. These nine-digit numbers are provided by Dun & Bradstreet and serve as standard business identifiers. You can look up your D-U-N-S Number or request one for free.
There are two possible scenarios:
You have it but don’t know the number.
You have it but don’t know the number.
If you’re unsure, search for your D-U-N-S number here.
You don’t have it.
You don’t have it.
If you don’t have one, you can learn how to obtain it from the D-U-N-S Number guide.
🗒️ Note
Obtaining a D-U-N-S number can take about one week. |
