Finished working on my first application with ads and the ability to purchase the full version without ads and with additional features. I signed up for the google play developer console, paid for everything.

As I understand it, in order to make purchases inside the application, you need a Google Merchant account. I have some possibly stupid questions about this:

  • I do not have a website or a domain name yet, and so far there is no possibility to register (Can I use my imtqy.com page there?)
  • I do not quite understand how to fill in all the information for registration with Google Merchant, I do not have an IP or a company. Is it possible to do without registration of these? It’s not at all a fact that a lot of money will come from the application, so I don’t know if all this is worth the extra gestures right now.
  • Is it possible to first lay out a working application so that sales go, but are not transferred to my bank account, and then, with a sufficient accumulated amount, register an IP, transfer funds to your account, pay taxes, etc. ?
  • If I decide to leave only advertising in the application without buying the full version, will I need a Google Merchant? And how will the withdrawal of money in this case? As far as I understand, money can accumulate on the admob account and can be withdrawn at any time? PS I am in Russia

    1. The site and domain are not needed - you can either not fill in or yes - you can specify a gitHub.
    2. Neither the IE nor the company are required. I think if you specify IP, then you will not go wrong.
    3. Yes, you can save as much money as you like on a Google account and only then attend to creating your account for withdrawal. Money is not going anywhere.
    4. Google Merchant is needed only for getting from the market itself. Advertisements for income go to other accounts and are not connected with the market itself.

    Here is another useful information about the withdrawal of money from AdMob and Google Merchant:

    1. Withdraw money from Google Play and AdMob accounts
