Hello guys,
I am making game and I want to include in app purchases. But Google Play says if you want to make money you need to have an Merchant Account. And when I want to create it, I need to fill company name and things like that. But I dont have any company.
Is there way to make money with in app purchases without having a company?
Thanks
Also pay attention to your country’s laws. In many countries you have to declare the revenue you get from your games and you need a company or some legal entity for that. Failing to do so can lead to judicial pursuit and I’m pretty sure you want to avoid that
Why don’t you buy a merchant account for you? If you are planning to make more games and wants to include that in-app purchases, then better you make a merchant account for you and after that, you can earn money as you wish. So don’t bother too much about the initial cost for the account, but see it in a long term way. If you want a suggestion for a good merchant account provider, here is one http://www.merchact.com/industry-solutions-high-risk/ which I’ve been using for a long time now.
You can use your legal name for the company name. It’s the same as conducting business on your behalf. You don’t need or are you legally required to have a business name or to set up a legal business but it does offer some tax benefits and legal protections setting up as a business. If for some reason you do make a lot of money, then you can switch over to a legal business without a lot of trouble. Save your time and money where it’s needed.
