Setting up a Google Developer Account for Your White-Label Mobile App

To publish Android apps on the Google Play Store under your business name, you must create a Google Developer account. This process establishes your business as a verified publisher and allows you to manage and distribute your white-label mobile app built on the CRM platform.

What You’ll Need

Before starting the registration process, gather the following required items:

• Official Business Name: Must match your legal entity name exactly.
• D-U-N-S® Number: Required for business verification. If you don’t have one, you can register for it separately.
• Business Details: A valid business email address, phone number, and physical address.
• Public Business Website: A live website that clearly displays your company information.
• Verified Website Ownership: Your domain must be verified through Google Search Console.
• Google Account: A business Google account (not a personal Gmail address) to use for registration.
• Registration Fee: A one-time payment of $25 USD, payable by credit or debit card.
• Government-Issued ID: A valid passport, driver’s license, or other official identification for identity verification.

Step-by-Step Registration Process

1. Access Google Play Console: Navigate to the Google Play Console website and sign in using your business Google account. If you don’t have one, create it before proceeding.
2. Accept the Agreement: Carefully review the Developer Distribution Agreement, then accept it and click Continue to payment.
3. Pay the Fee: Enter your card details to complete the $25 USD one-time registration payment.
4. Provide Business Information: Enter your legal business name, address, contact email, phone number, and website URL exactly as they appear on official records.
5. Verify Your Website: Confirm ownership of your business domain through Google Search Console if prompted.
6. Submit Identification: Upload a clear copy of a valid government-issued ID for identity verification.
7. Wait for Activation: After submission, you will receive a confirmation email. Account activation may take 24–48 hours.

Best Practices

• Use a dedicated Google account solely for your developer activities to keep business operations organized.
• If publishing a free app, ensure your business website does not prominently feature financial terms or services to avoid potential conflicts.
• Double-check that all provided details are accurate and up to date to prevent delays during verification.

Once your Google Developer account is active, you can proceed to configure and publish your white-label mobile app through the CRM platform.
