Prepare

Wait For Apple To Call

Within the next few days, Apple will call the verification contact number you provided to verify your enrolment. Please make sure to notify the person who is going to answer the call.


Confirm & Pay

Once verified a confirmation email will be sent to your Apple ID email address.

  1. In the email, click Review Now. This will open the "Review and Accept" screen of your Apple Developer Program Enrolment

Ask them to upgrade your Sole Trader Apple Account to a company account such that we (your developer) can access it to manage apps on your behalf.
