How to Convert Google Developer Account from Individual to Organization

To publish your app on Google Play, you will need to sign up for a Google Developer account. Once your account is created, invite STQRY as an admin and we will handle the app submission and ongoing maintenance on your behalf. It is essential to sign up as an organisation and invite STQRY as an admin so that we can work independently to publish and maintain your apps without requiring your involvement for every update.

If you accidentally signed up as an individual, this article will guide you through converting your account to an organisation account.

To convert your individual developer account to an organisation account, the account owner must set up an organisational payment profile and provide additional account details in the Play Console.

Before You Begin

Before changing your account type, you will need to provide and verify your official organisation website. For more information on the verification process, see Verifying your website.

After entering and saving your website, remember to click Send verification request. Once your website has been verified, the option to update your account type will become available.

Steps to Convert Your Account

Step 1 — Access your Play Console

Go to your Play Console account

Step 2 — Navigate to Account Details

Go to Developer account > About you.

Step 3 — Change Account Type

Click Change account type.

Step 4 — Set Up a Payments Profile

Click Create or Select payments profile.

• If you already have an existing payment profile with your organisation's information, select it and click Continue.
• Otherwise, click Create new payments profile.

When creating a new payments profile, your organisation's D-U-N-S number will be required. Government organisations/agencies: Verification without a D-U-N-S number may be possible in some cases. If this option is not available and you need to verify without a D-U-N-S number, please contact Google support directly. Read more about the D-U-N-S number here.

Step 5 — Provide Organisation Details

You will be asked to provide the following information:

Organisation type:

• Company/Business

• Contact details displayed on Google Play for users: A developer email address and phone number that will appear on your app's store listing pages (each verified with a one-time password)

Step 6 — Verify Your Identity (if required)

After saving your payments profile, you may be required to verify your organisation's legal name and address.

• The Account details page will display the verification status and any actions required, including uploading requested documents.
• You will receive the review outcome via email after submitting your documents.
• Once the payment profile has been verified, the account owner can proceed to finalise the switch.

Step 7 — Link Your Payments Profile

Go to Developer account > About you and click Link your payments profile to your developer account.

To complete the transition to an organisation account, click Confirm and Save.
