What To Prepare Before Enrolling?

To set up a Google Play Developer Account, follow these steps:

  • Gmail Account: 

You’ll need a Gmail account (ending with @gmail.com). It’s recommended to create a separate Gmail account different from your one to avoid unexpected issues. If you need to set up a new account, refer to the provided instructions. If you already have a suitable Gmail account, proceed to the next step.

  • 2-Step Verification: 

Google requires 2-step verification for enhanced sign-in security. To create a developer account, make sure 2-step verification is enabled for your Gmail account. Click here to learn how to manage this feature.

  • Credit or Debit Card: 

Google charges a one-time registration fee of US$25 for the Google Play Developer Account. You will need a valid credit or debit card to complete the registration. Note that this fee may change at any time, so contact Google Support for any concerns regarding this matter.
