At Shopney, we handle the app submission process on your behalf. To do so, we need access to your Apple and Google Developer Accounts.
Apple allows both individual (personal) and company accounts. However, we strongly recommend using a company account. Apple’s guidelines and requirements make it difficult for us to manage submissions and updates on personal accounts. They also require a different procedure for submission, as we need your account credentials to log in to your account and add our number as a trusted one.
Google only supports organizational accounts for publishing apps. If you currently have a personal Google Play Developer account, you’ll need to create a new organizational developer account instead, since conversion is not possible.
Let’s go through the easy steps on how to convert your individual Apple developer account to a company one and set up an organizational Google developer account.
Convert your Apple developer account from personal to company
1- Sign in to your Apple Developer Account and open the Membership section.
2- Scroll down and click Need to edit this information? on the bottom right.
3- A pop-up will appear. Click on the Provide your updated information.
4- Fill out the form with your company details and click Send.
Once your request is submitted, Apple may contact you regarding the process. You’ll receive a notification when the change is complete.
Set up an organizational Google Developer Account
Unlike Apple, Google does not allow you to convert an existing personal account into a company account. Instead, you’ll need to create a new organizational Google developer account.
1- Create a new organizational Google developer account. You can follow Google’s official instructions here.
2- Once your organizational developer account is ready, grant the Shopney team admin access by following the guide here so we can continue with your app submission.
All done! Now that you know how to, you can convert your individual Apple developer account to a company one and create an organizational Google developer account!
