Merchant account
A merchant account on Appsinity is the set of payout details Appsinity needs to pay you. It is not a payment processor and it does not let you charge users.
Open Appsinity StudioWhat it is and is not
| It does | It does not |
|---|---|
| Record how Appsinity pays you | Let you take payments inside your app |
| Hold a payout method: bank, PayPal or UPI | Provide a checkout or a cart |
| Gate the earnings dashboard behind 20,000 visits | Enable paid downloads — there is no price field |
| Trigger a human verification before a transfer | Provide tax documents or invoices |
Setting it up
- Reach the threshold. The payout controls stay locked until the listing passes 20,000 visits.
- Open Payouts. A nav item in Studio; the sheet is Request Payout.
- Choose a method.
bank,paypalorupi. One at a time, in the sheet. - Match the name. The name on the method should match the account or organisation name.
- Wait for verification. 3-5 business days after verification, in USD converted to your currency.
Details worth preparing
- An account in a currency Appsinity can convert to. The payout is quoted in USD and converted at prevailing rates.
- For bank: account number and the identifier your bank requires.
- For UPI: an address you actually control, since it is the one method most often mistyped.
- For PayPal: an email that can receive a transfer, on an account verified by PayPal itself.
- For an organisation: entity details that match the registration documents.
Changing payout details
There is no dedicated merchant screen with a history. Changing a method means a new request with different values, which is why a compromised developer account is a financial risk — see Two-factor authentication.
If you suspect a payout destination was altered, treat it as an account compromise and follow Account recovery immediately.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a business registration?
Not to publish. For payouts, your method must be one you own, and an organisation payout should reflect the entity.
Can I get paid to another country?
The method determines it. USD is converted, so cross-border receiving depends on your bank or processor.
Is there a payout API?
No. See Payments API for what that endpoint does and does not do.
