There’s nothing better than getting paid for your app and knowing all your hard work was worth it, and there’s nothing more frustrating than a delay in your payments. The Amazon Appstore community space has a knowledge base of articles on payments to help make sure you get paid on time every month for all app and IAP sales.
We’ve tagged all our payment-related articles with “appstore-payments”, so all you have to do to find all the related articles is search for that tag.

If you want to register your payment info, you will need to set up a two-step verification method. But this can be a confusing process. How can you change your verification method? What if you don’t have a mobile number? What if you’re already using your mobile phone number for your shopping account, can you reuse it for your dev account?
Our Two-Step Verification FAQ provides an overview on how to change your verification method, use an authenticator app, reuse a mobile number on multiple accounts, and more.
We will mail your 1099-MISC (if you’re a US-based developer) or your 1042-S (if you’re a non-US dev) each year to you. If you want to access any available forms online, follow our guide to accessing your tax docs.
If you’re a US-developer, the 1099-MISC will be sent out on or before February 1. If you’re a non-US dev, the 1042-S will be sent on or before March 15, and then they will be available in the console after that.
Amazon provides sales reports, earnings reports, payment reports, and rating/review reports. We also offer a Download Center, where you can receive spreadsheets with more in-depth information.
