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

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.

I have successfully setup my account on whatsapp developer app by meta and can send messages to 5 free users. Now the question is how can I go live with the app. I have no verified business manager account, is that necessary?
What will I need to do after verification of business account? Do I need to generate permanent access token and it would work fine?
Plus I need to know how can I send messages to groups on whatsapp?
Yes, you need to become a verified business account and all would work as you saw with the demo account, with no restriction on the number of destinations.
First 1000 conversations/month it's free, you can check details here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/whatsapp/pricing/
Bear in mind, you will NOT be able to message groups with the WA Cloud API. If you need to, you will need to rely on custom APIs that do that. There are some available, see the one shown here:

The very beginnings on GCP turn out as a real struggle. Just on the signup page (all access $300 free) receiving error message: "This payment method can't be used for recurring payments [OR-CBAT-09]" also the bank account shows "unverified".
What's been tried: signing in on Google pay - trying to enter the verification code: doesn't show any place to enter code from the wire transfer. Also contacting various Google supports by chat (hours :) ) Cloud Billing Support apparently is responsible yet available only to registered users - real dilemma.
Thank you very much for any tips here
Sign up on the Play store and create a merchant account. During the merchant account setup you can enter the test deposit amount which will verify your Bank account.
Sounce: Tried to create a GCP billing account with a German bank as payment method, got [OR-CBAT-09] for two weeks and was given the runabout with the cloud billing support including multiple second-level support escalations. And no, support never made any useful suggestion (we are registered & paying customer).
I signed up as an associate to use the API, but then when clicking the Product Advertising API, it did not let me sign up. I emailed to see how I can access it and was told this:
Registration for the Product Advertising API is only available to Associates that have been reviewed and received final acceptance in to the Associates Program.
Applications that are in the pending approval status will be reviewed once 3 referrals are made on the application.
I don't know what that really means, and I don't even necessarily want to be an associate; I just want to use this API to get Amazon search results for a browser extension. Anyone know how I can achieve this?
They added a new rule recently ! You can only use the Product API if you have sold at least 3 items.
I've tried to do this with a different account and credit card, but I still got 0% commission lol
and then you need to contact to amazon
I'm working on a startup and we plan to use Plaid API or Yodlee for banking data aggregation ie credit history and previous transactions. I wanted to know about the data policy of these services from a fellow programmer who has worked on it. The sales guys give a pretty garbled view.
My questions are mainly
If one of my users had previously given their data to these
aggregators (ie maybe used Yodlee for mint) do they have to put in
each of their bank login details again if they use my service or do
they have a sort of user profile with which they can authorize my
app to view the data stored in their service.
Does Plaid API/Yodlee use the data I generate for its own uses and
do my users owe these data to these services and not me?
If I want to move out do they still hold my users data (the bank
accounts they have signed up with)as a profile on their desk?
PS: I think this question follows SO's policy but feel free to correct me if not.
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
