Changes to the apple developer account - objective-c

Whether the $99 personal accounts can be changed in a $99 enterprise account?
If you can change, please tell me what should to do?
Thank you very much!

Apple Enterprise account is not charged at $99, however it costs $299 and you can register for Enterprise account from here:
https://developer.apple.com/programs/enterprise/enroll/
You need a DUNS number to apply.
However if you just want your company name to be displayed in Developer name, instead of individual name, you need to contact Apple support from here:
https://developer.apple.com/contact/

You need to contact Apple.

Yes, if you are the founder/co-founder of the organization. To start the conversion process, please contact us. You may be asked to submit business documents to verify your company's identity.

In App Purchase Legalities Knowledge Share

We are planning a monthly membership subscription for our users where accessing this membership gives the user a sub-profile that also gives them extra abilities within the App.
Given this scenario, it would be great to understand if the payment for this membership would need to be handled by Apple/Android pay or can it be handled by an external payment provider (i.e Stripe)
At the moment we have one IAP that gives the user unlimited likes for a week which we implemented using Apple/Android pay as that is a digital product used within the App.
Ideally we’d use stripe because of its extensive API and CRM but I’m all ears and obviously don’t want the headache of our App being removed from the stores for not complying with their payment laws.
Any words of warning/wisdom appreciated!
Thanks !
Don't take this as a legal advice. My personal opinion is that if the premium content is digital, it still falls under the category of In-App purchase.
There're some documents (doc1, doc2) explaining the difference between Apple Pay and In-app purchases. But you should also consider engaging a legal advisor.

Migrate Google Merchant account to different country

Slovakia has been added recently to list of supported Merchant countries for Google Play.
I have an account in Czech Republic (CZK) paired with Merchant Account with active paid and free apps and want to change the country to Slovakia (EUR) - mostly because i of the fees related to money transfers from a different currency (CZK to EUR) on my business account.
I have been searching on Google but found nothing except for transferring all my apps to new developer account. I'm afraid that this will hurt my play store search positions and i won't be able to transfer the Google Play Services data (LeaderBoards, Achievements)
Also i want to keep the package names.
Had someone done this? How should i proceed?
June 2017 update:
Apps with subscriptions can now be transferred!!!
The original answer:
This is a complete answer I got from Google:
Hi,
Thanks for contacting Google Play Developer Support.
I understand you'd like to change the country associated with your Google Payments Merchant account. Once your Google Payments Merchant account has been created, it's not possible to change the country associated with that account. Instead, I can cancel and refund your existing developer account and transfer your apps to a new developer account that has the appropriate merchant country details.
To get started with this process:
Edit your current developer account name. If you'd like to continue to use your developer name with the new account, you’ll need to change your current name in order to free it up for the new account. For example, name the old account “xxx-OLD,” so you can use "xxx" in your new account. Make sure you save your settings.
Create a second Google Account (with a new, different email address). After you've created the new account, you will need to configure Google Payments with a billing address corresponding to your preferred merchant country.
After you've registered the newly created Google Play Developer Console account, create a new Google Payments Merchant account from the Developer Console. Pay special attention to the country listed for your legal business address. You may need to adjust your Google Payments settings if you haven't configured your billing address properly.
Use this online checklist to submit your app transfer request.
Please note however at this time, an app transfer can't be completed with in-app subscriptions currently or previously configured for your app; this includes subscriptions that do not have subscribers, or those apps which have had all subscriptions canceled.
I understand this limitation can be frustrating, and I apologize that we don't currently have a more seamless way to transfer these applications across accounts. We're actively working with our teams to design a better experience for developers with apps using in-app subscriptions, though we do not currently have an ETA.
I appreciate your understanding, and your dedicated support of Google Play.
Regards,
xxxxx
Google Play Developer Support
The country associated with your Google Play Developer account can't be changed. However, you can create a new account that uses a different country and transfer your apps to your new account.
To transfer apps to a new account, you'll need to prepare some account information. To learn what information you need and to send your request, go to the Google's app transfer checklist.

How to move existing business catalyst site to different account without becoming a partner

I have an existing business catalyst website on a partner account I need to relocate to a different account, that is not a partner account because I cannot afford the $900 partner fee. Any suggestions on the best way to do this?
Unfortunately, you can't transfer a Business Catalyst site to a non-paid Partner Portal. However, you can transfer to a paid Partner Portal and I can help with that.
I'm a BC Partner and would be happy to have your site transferred to my Partner Portal (account). I'm a Standard Partner which means the billing relationship for your website remains between you and Adobe - has nothing to do with me - and the subscription plan you choose is up to you.
It's a relatively straightforward process. You need to sign into the Admin area and go to Help & Support. From there, either start a chat or submit a ticket.
You will need to provide the following info:
your user email
the new Partner name
the new Partner URL
the new Partner email
(details here: http://helpx.adobe.com/business-catalyst/partner-portal/transferring-sites-partners.html)
And that's it. The owner of your current Partner Portal (you) will also need to verify that they consent to the site being moved - BC may require you to submit an additional ticket from the Help & Support tab in your Partner Portal.
I can provide you will all my contact details and required info. Just go to my site: http://www.indieweb.co.nz/contact and flick me a webform enquiry.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Cheers,
Luke

Live Merchant Account for testing?

Sorry if this is not a programming question, but I'm not really sure where to ask this. I will need to test an application using a live merchant account (specifically for refunds), but I don't want to sign up and pay for an actual merchant account because I will only use it for testing. Is there another solution for this? Or is there a prepaid/not long term/cheap way to get a merchant account?
Thanks!
I know that when I was developing a site to use Authorize.net several years ago, I was able to request a developer account for free and use it long before we officially signed up with Authorize.net. You need to keep in mind, however, that different merchant solutions will have different means of communication with their service, so if you test with Merchant A, you might have to make huge changes to be able to use the final merchant solution you settle with.
Good luck!
I also heard about such things as developer merchant accounts. But, again, the fees, terms & and conditions always depend on a provider you choose.
Make sure the company / financial institution does not require paying any hidden fees or obscene cancellation fees before you set up your developer account.
