To comply with the European Union's Digital Services Act (DSA), all Connect IQ developers are required to submit specific information. Here's what you need to know:

Are You Asking for Money?

Does your app require or request a monetary exchange? This could be requiring payment for use, requiring a subscription to use or asking the user for tips or donations even if it isn’t required for use. If the answer to all these questions is “No,” then we do not require you to verify as a trader.

If at any point in the future that might change, please continue reading.

Verifying Your Identity

As part of the process, we need to confirm whether you qualify as a "trader" under the DSA.  If you collect any payments, including tips, for the use of your apps, then you meet the qualifications of a trader. You will be asked a series of questions to determine your status, including whether you operate as a business or an individual, and whether your activities on the platform are commercial in nature.

You will be asked to provide documents that verify your identity, such as a government-issued ID, proof of address, DUNS number or other relevant documentation.

You can also register as a trader by going through Connect IQ merchant onboarding. This will allow you to list apps for sale and be paid through the Connect IQ monetization system.

Failure to Comply

If you are not registered as a trader with the Connect IQ store, apps that require payment will be blocked from the Connect IQ store until verification is completed. Failing to list an app as requiring payment can result in suspension of your developer account.

Please note that document review may take several business days. During this time, your access to certain platform features will be restricted until the verification process is complete.
