How to Enter Your Trader Status in the App Store

To make your iOS app available in countries that are part of the EU, you need to tell Apple whether you're a trader or not. Follow the steps below to do that.

Open the "Business" section of App Store Connect.

Click "Complete Compliance Requirements" in the alert box.

If you publish apps for/as a hobby, you can select that your account is a non-trader provider account. If your app is for your business, then select that your account is a trader provider account.

If you entered that you're not a trader, you're done now.

If you're a trader, you'll need to submit some more information in the next steps.

Enter your business address, phone number and e-mail address. Once you're done, click "Next".

Afterwards, you'll need to verify your e-mail address and phone number by receiving and entering a verification code.

Next, you'll need to upload a document that confirms your company name, e.g. an official registration document.

Lastly, you'll need to upload a document that confirms your company's address that you had entered in the previous steps.

Apple will verify the documents you uploaded within the next few days. Keep an eye on your e-mail inbox, because Apple will send you an e-mail in case they notice any issues.
