[android-developers] Re: How do I sell apps from South Africa?

Hi guys

Whats the status on being able to sell your android apps from south africa? Have google added south africa to the list as yet? Opening a shelve company in the UK plus bank accounts etc seems to be a long process.

regards

Hi MeltdownZA,

I have encountered that exact same issue. Unfortunately you would have to setup a bank account in the UK or US and have a shell company. I have not done that, but the company I work for has.

The only way I got to sell my apps on Android was to use the Amazon App Store instead. They send you cheques to your South African mailbox when it reaches a threshold you set.

I sell my apps on Apple iOS App Store as well with no problems at all. Much better sales from iOS than from Android. 

Most Android users want everything for free, you could give it away for free on Google Play and just put in Ad support. Sell your app without ads on the Amazon Android Market and the Apple Store (if you have ported to iOS), please checkout cocos2d-x, it is truly cross platform and easy to code using C++.

Feel free to contact me if you have any more questions.

Best Regards,

Craig Newton

We have an upcoming title we'd like to sell via the Google Play store.

From the research I've done, it seems that we can sell apps if we are in South Africa.

Yet when I registered a Google Play developer account, and paid the $25, and I registered, South Africa is not in the list of countries I can register for as a developer.

What is the correct approach to take for this?

Thanks
