Tips
</h2>
<ul>
<li>You need a Google account to register. You can create one during the
process.
</li>
<li>If you are an organization, consider registering a new Google account
rather than using a personal account.
</li>
<li>Review the <a href=
"https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=138294">
developer countries</a> and <a href=
"https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=150324">
merchant countries</a> where you can distribute and sell apps.
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<ol>
<li>Visit the <a href="https://play.google.com/apps/publish/">Google Play
Developer Console</a>.
</li>
<li>Enter basic information about your <strong>developer identity</strong>
— name, email address, and so on. You can modify this information
later.
</li>
<li>Read and accept the <strong>Developer Distribution Agreement</strong> for
your country or region. Note that apps and store listings that you publish on
Google Play must comply with the Developer Program Policies and US export
law.
</li>
<li>Pay a <strong>$25 USD registration fee</strong> using Google Wallet. If
you don't have a Google Wallet account, you can quickly set one up during the
process.
</li>
<li>When your registration is verified, you’ll be notified at the email
address you entered during registration.
</li>
</ol>

need a Google Wallet Merchant Account. You can set one up at any time, but
first review the list of <a href=
"https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=150324">
merchant countries</a>.<br>
<br>
To set up a Google Wallet Merchant Account:<br>
<br>
</p>
<ol>
<li>
<strong>Sign in</strong> to your Google Play Developer Console at <a href=
"https://play.google.com/apps/publish/" target=
"_blank">https://play.google.com/apps/publish/</a>.
</li>
<li>Open <strong>Financial reports</strong> <img src=
"{@docRoot}images/distribute/console-reports.png"> on the side navigation.
</li>
<li>Click <strong>Setup a Merchant Account now</strong>.
</li>
</ol>

business to complete this step.
