Hi everyone!

I’m planning to change my Google Play developer account from an individual to an organization account, which will require transferring my apps to the new account. I currently use RevenueCat to manage the subscriptions for my apps.

My question is: what precautions should I take during this process to ensure RevenueCat continues to function correctly after the transfer?

Here are some specific concerns:

  1. Do I need to reconfigure anything in the RevenueCat dashboard after the transfer?
  2. Will the product IDs (SKU) in RevenueCat continue to work as expected, or is there something I need to adjust?
  3. Are there any impacts on Webhooks or the API integration?
  4. Are there any best practices to follow to avoid interruptions in subscriptions or billing data?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hey ​@Mauricio José de Lima,

 Changing Google Developer accounts will require service credentials to be regenerated.
 
The credential validation for Google could take up to 36 hours and unfortunately, we cannot do anything to speed up the process since Google Play is doing the validation on their end. If you create the credentials 36 hours in advance of switching the app over to the new account, you can avoid having service disruption. Once the propagation is complete, RevenueCat can immediately use the credentials. Once they show as validating, you can use them in your existing RevenueCat account.
The process would look something like this:

  1. Create a new Google Play account and create service credentials in the new Google account.
  2. Wait about 36 hours
  3. Test your credentials (you can create a new RevenueCat app just to test sandbox purchases.)
  4. If they work, switch over the app from the old Google account to the new one.
  5. Once the switch is complete, enter the credentials from the new accounts to RevenueCat.

There should be no downtime if you follow a procedure similar to that. Regarding product IDs, webhooks, and the API integration - nothing here would need to be changed in RevenueCat.
