I have twelve free watch faces published on the Connect IQ Store and I would like to start selling two paid ones. I am a resident of Colombia, and I would rather confirm the requirement than submit an application that cannot be approved.
The Merchant Onboarding page states that the monetization system is available to developers with legal entities in the United States, Canada, Australia, Singapore and most of the European Union, and that if you do not live or are not incorporated in one of those countries you cannot sign up. Colombia is not on that list. The page also notes the list is subject to change, which is why I am asking rather than assuming.
Three questions:
1. Is there currently any route for a developer resident in Colombia to enrol? I note that Colombia does appear on the list of countries whose users are allowed to purchase monetized apps, so buyers here are supported even though sellers are not.
2. If I established a legal entity in one of the supported countries, would that satisfy the requirement while I personally remain resident in Colombia? The documentation asks individuals for proof of residential address and individual tax ID, so I cannot tell whether eligibility follows the entity's country of incorporation or my own country of residence.
3. Is the published list current? I have seen Mexico referred to as supported in at least one place, but Mexico does not appear on the Merchant Onboarding page. If that list is out of date, it would be useful for more of us than just me.
For context, this is a personal project, not a company. I would be enrolling as an individual / sole proprietor.
Thanks for any clarification.
