How Buying a Developer Account Works: 5 Steps From Inquiry to Handover
The five steps of buying a Google Play or Apple developer account with Guyi: spec, match, quote, verification on your device, and a six-field handover.
Short answer: Buying a developer account through Guyi has five steps: send the spec, get a matched account described in writing, agree the quote on Telegram, verify the account yourself on your own device, then complete the six-field handover. Where an official transfer route exists, ask whether the deal can use it.
Step 1: Send the spec, not documents
Six lines are enough to start: store (Google Play or Apple), country on the record, personal/individual or organization, fresh or aged, empty or with a named app list, and whether you buy or sell. No passwords, one-time codes or ID photos at this stage.
Step 2: A matched account, described in writing
Guyi replies with what is available that fits the spec and writes the facts down: account type, country, creation or renewal date, apps (or none), and any open task such as Google's closed-testing requirement. If something cannot be shown, it is not promised.
Step 3: Quote on Telegram
The quote depends on store, country, type, age and apps, which is why prices are not published on the site. Official store fees (Google Play US$25 one-time, Apple US$99 per year) are separate from any deal price.
Step 4: You verify on your own device
- Google Play: sign in to Play Console, read account details, Users and permissions, Policy status and the app list.
- Apple: read the membership page (type, Account Holder, renewal date) and App Store Connect roles and agreements.
- If a fact in step 2 does not match what you see, stop.
Step 5: Six-field handover
Login, recovery, two-factor, renewal or verification status, app list and team members move or are confirmed one by one. A credential handover is not Google's or Apple's official ownership transfer; Google offers an owner transfer in Play Console with a 7-day hold, and Apple offers an Account Holder transfer for organizations. Ask whether your deal can use one.
What Guyi does not do
No promise of review approval, closed-test results or unbans, and no invented reviews or success rates. The deal is the written checklist.

Google's and Apple's current pages always win. Guyi is not affiliated with Google or Apple and does not promise review results.

Questions
How long does the process take?
Steps 1–3 can be quick; verification and handover depend on how fast recovery and two-factor move. Google's official owner transfer alone has a 7-day security hold.
Can I pay before verifying?
Agree the payment order on Telegram in writing. Verifying the account on your own device before the final step is the safer order.
Do I need a company for an organization account?
Yes. Organization accounts belong to a legal entity with a D-U-N-S number.
