If you want to submit your app as a paid app on the Apple App Store, you need to do the following:
- Create an Apple App Store developer account.
- Pay the $99 annual registration fee to the Apple App Store.
- Create a Paid Applications Contract with the Apple App Store.
NOTE: You need to do all three to sell your app on the App Store.
To set up the Paid Applications Contract:
- Sign in to your iTunes Connect account.
- Click Agreements, Tax, and Banking.
- Under Request Contracts, click Request for the iOS Paid Applications contract type.
- After you review the agreement, check I have read and agree to the agreement presented above and click Submit.

Note: Contacts don't have to be iTunes Connect users. Choose appropriate people to address legal, financial or marketing issues that could come up related to the sale of your apps through Apple. - Repeat this process to add other contacts.
- Assign roles to the contacts by selecting their names from the Contact drop down menus. Then click Done.
- To set up Bank Info (so Apple can pay you for apps sold):
