Microsoft Store: can an individual developer account sell a paid app or in-app purchase and receive payouts in Brazil (Policy 10.14)?
I'm an individual developer in Brazil, with no company registration (only a personal tax ID, CPF). I'd like to publish a desktop app (ProgViewer, a text and code viewer) on the Microsoft Store, sold through Microsoft Store commerce: free download with a one-time in-app purchase to unlock. The app does not ask for any financial information (Policy 10.8.3).
Policy 10.14 says company accounts must be used by "any person acting in relation to their trade or profession", while individual accounts are "usually appropriate for a single developer working on their own".
- Can an individual developer account publish and sell a paid app or an in-app purchase through Store commerce?
- Can an individual account receive payouts in Brazil with a personal tax profile (CPF), or is a company account required?
I tried to open a support request in Partner Center, but submitting fails with "There was a problem creating your service request. Wait 10 minutes and try again."
Thank you.
