Company Registration

Before you can accept payments within your app, it is necessary to register your company information with Facebook.
You can check that your company is associated with your app by ensuring it is listed in the Payments section of your app's settings within the App Dashboard. If you see your company name listed, or selected in a dropdown then you are configured correctly. If however, you see a link to create a new company, or a different company is listed, be sure to follow the steps outlined below to register your company.

Registering your company

We'll begin by assuming you've set up your app to run on Facebook Canvas, and you're ready to enable payments. Start by going to your app's Settings page in the Developer App and clicking the "Edit App" button. On the left rail, under Settings, click Payments.
You'll see a dropdown if you've already registered a company, or the register a company button if you need to register another company.
If you have not registered a company for your app yet, click the "Register a company now" link.
You'll be given a form to fill out, where we gather information to make sure we can identify you unambiguously, transfer money to you, and comply with tax regulations in your country and ours. Provide the required information.
Then, specify the method by which Facebook will pay you, and specify verified Facebook users to act as administrators of your company. Company administrators can manage your company data; to configure an app to pay out to a company, a user needs to be an administrator of both the company and the app.
Note that your form may differ slightly from the one pictured here. Once you've completed the registration process, there will be a "Company Name" dropdown available where the "Register your company" interface used to be.
Choose the company you just set up, and click the "Save Changes" button.

Next steps

After your company is correctly set up and associated with your app, you can begin to define products available for purchase.
