App Store Connect is where an Apple membership is used
App Store Connect is the place you sign in after an Apple Developer Program membership exists. You manage apps, TestFlight, users, and agreements there. It is not the membership fee by itself.
What the handover covers
Login, recovery, two-factor, the renewal date, the named apps, and the members. An individual membership still shows the legal name. A company membership is still that legal entity. Guyi does not promise review or TestFlight. Enterprise and Apple Business Manager are not this console's publishing path.
A paid agreement is separate
Being inside App Store Connect does not mean the Paid Applications agreement is accepted. Tax and banking are not chosen on this page. The Program fee is commonly US$99 a year. Confirm it on Apple's page. It is not the deal price.
Questions
Is App Store Connect the same as an Apple ID?
An Apple ID can sign in. The membership is what makes it a developer account. They are not the same line in the spec.
Does access include every app on that Apple ID?
Only the apps named in the agreement.
