Apple Developer Enrollment Issues, Payment Problems, and Account Access

Hello,

I’m trying to enroll in the Apple Developer Program, but I’m having an issue with the enrollment and payment process.

I initially signed up through the Apple Developer app. However, when I try to enroll, I cannot click “Enroll Now.” Under the enrollment section, I see a message saying:

“Enrollment through the Apple Developer app is not available for this Apple Account.”

I then went to the Apple Developer website to try to complete the enrollment and pay the $99 USD membership fee. However, the payment did not go through, and I received the message:

“We’re having a problem with your payment.”

A team member then tried to make the payment using their credit card. The payment went through, and Apple asked me to provide identity verification documents. I uploaded the requested documents, and Apple confirmed that they received them.

However, a couple of hours later, I received another email saying:

“We’re having a problem with your payment.”

This has left me confused about the status of my enrollment.

My main concern is what happens if I successfully pay the $99 USD membership fee I’m wondering if there is an issue with my account, my enrollment, or a policy violation. What i need to do to receive my Developer Program membership, or could my enrollment account suspended/terminated after payment?

When I log back into the Apple Developer website, I see this message:

“Sorry, you don’t have access. Your account isn’t authorized to upload files.

To sign in with a different Apple Account, or to continue your enrollment, complete your purchase now.”

Could someone please explain:

  1. Why my Apple Developer app says enrollment is not available for my Apple Account.
  2. Why my payment keeps showing “We’re having a problem with your payment.”
  3. Whether payment of the $99 fee guarantees enrollment or if Apple still has to approve the account afterward.
  4. What happens to the $99 payment if enrollment is rejected or the account cannot be activated.
  5. What happens if an enrolled developer later violates an Apple Developer Program policy

Thank you for any help or clarification.

Upon reviewing your account, it appears that first 2 payment was unsuccessful but they did confirm a successful payment in the end and was able to active your account. Please contact developer support via: https://developer.apple.com/contact if you have additional questions.
