Create Onside Account

A step-by-step guide to creating your Onside developer account, choosing your account type, and connecting it to the App Store for seamless app management.

Welcome to Onside! Setting up your developer account is the first step toward publishing your apps on our marketplace. This guide will walk you through the entire process, from initial registration to publishing your first app.

If you already have an Onside developer account, you can go directly to the Log In page. For our legal terms, please see Onside Legal Documents.

1

Register Your Onside Account

First, go to the Onside Developer Console and create account. You will need to choose between a Business or Individual account type.

Choose this option if you are registering as a legally recognized business entity (e.g., a corporation, partnership, LLC).

You will need to provide:

  • Legal Company Name

  • D-U-N-S Number

What is a D-U-N-S Number and why is it required for businesses?

A D-U-N-S Number is a unique nine-digit identifier for businesses, provided by Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) and used globally as a standard business identifier.

Like many platforms, including Apple, we require it to verify your organization's identity and legal entity status. This is a crucial step to ensure we maintain a trusted and secure ecosystem of verified business developers on Onside.

How to Get a D-U-N-S Number:

  1. Look Up Your Number: First, use the D&B lookup tool to check if your company already has a D-U-N-S Number. Many businesses already do.

  2. Request a New Number: If you don't have one, you can request it. The process is free for Apple developers, and you can start it through their portal.

For the official lookup tool and detailed instructions, please refer to Apple's D-U-N-S Number help page.

Important Information on Timing:

  • The process is free, but it is not instant.

  • It may take up to 5 business days for D&B to issue your number after you submit your information.

  • After your number is issued, it can take up to an additional 2 business days for the information to be updated and verifiable by partner systems like ours.

Please plan accordingly, as this verification step is required before your business account can be fully approved.

  • Country / Legal Address

  • Developer Email & Phone Number

Your company name, legal address, developer email, and phone number will be displayed on your Onside Store product page.

This is the final step to activate your account.

  1. Review the Terms: You will be presented with the Free Apps Agreement. Please read these terms carefully as they govern your use of the console. You can "Download PDF" for your records.

  1. Click the "Let's start" button to accept the terms.
