NOTE:
To host an app in the Apple Store, there is an annual $99 fee and it is recommended to set this to auto-renew.
If you have an existing Apple Developer Account, you can migrate from an individual account to a company one. Learn how to do that in this guide.
Step 1: Get your D-U-N-S number https://help.tapcart.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039523993-Request-a-D-U-N-S-Number
Step 2: Apple Developer Enrollment (Only once your DUNS number is activated)

- Read the Apple Developer Agreement then check the ‘By checking this box I confirm that I have read and agree...’ box and click the ‘Submit’ button
- Under Select Entity Type, you MUST ENTER COMPANY/ORGANIZATION in the Entity Type dropdown and select Continue.
Note: Do NOT register as an Individual / Sole Proprietor / Single Person Business. It's extremely important that you register as a Company/Organization and not as a Personal account. We cannot support Individual accounts.
- Under ‘Tell me About Your Organization’, you will need to enter the Legal Entity Name and DUNS number exactly as listed in the DUNS confirmation email.
- DUNS Number: You will need your DUNS number to enroll. If you do not have one already, please follow this link to direction on requesting your DUNS number: https://help.tapcart.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039523993-Request-a-D-U-N-S-Number

- Confirm the Apple ID Information, Entity Type, and Contact Information and hit ‘Continue’.
- You should hear back from Apple within the next 24 to 48 hours to the submitted email or phone call to verify the enrollment.
Note: If your enrollment is not approved in the next 24-48 hours please use this link to contact Apple support and inquire about the status of your enrollment.
- Once Apple reaches out via phone or email to verify the account, you should receive a follow-up email prompting you to submit the annual enrollment fee.
