I wanna know if one of my account gets banned,will it affect second one, since both are created using same debit card?
You can have multiple developer accounts.
If one account get banned Google will try to find all your other accounts and they will be banned too..
After your account has been terminated
When your developer account is terminated, all applications in your
catalog will be removed from the Google Play store and the users,
stats, and ratings associated with those applications will be
forfeited. Additionally, you will no longer be able to publish new
applications. Please do not attempt to register for a new Google Play
Developer Console account.
If your account was terminated for violating the developer terms, we
can no longer accept applications from you. This means that any
related accounts are also permanently suspended, and any new accounts
that you try to open will be terminated without a refund of the
developer registration fee.

I want to transfer my app with subscriptions to another company, but it seems that it was not possible before, and the document of google is vague.
Does anyone know if it is still not possible or is there any good way to do that like transferring the developer account itself?
Transferring android app with subscription to another account
Android Developer Console - Change app owner
It is allowed nowadays! You can transfer apps with in-app subsriptions to a new developer account. And you need pay extra attention to linked project if you used Play Developer APIs to verify the purchases or used other integrated services. After the transfering process, the renewal orders will be visible in the Play Console under the new developer account while the previous orders will only be visible under your current account.
I have a Google Play developer account that I want to share with another user whom I want to add as an account owner so that we both have ownership over a certain app. However, despite giving him account permissions, the user is unable to access certain pages like the "Payment settings" page which is weird considering that I have given him all permissions for both app and account. I am kind of lost. Does that mean there can only be one account owner or is it that the other user also has to pay a $25 registration fee despite the fact that I have invited him? Or could it be a totally different reason?
Try this page, it may help. They explain everything here.
Dev account help users and permissions
There can only be one account owner. You can have multiple account admins, but admins don't have all the permissions that the account owner has, like editing the payments settings for example.
Note that you cannot change the account owner, but you can transfer the apps to another Play Store account.
As the title mentions - How can I change the ownership of a Google Play Console Developer's Account?
Change the ownership means to associate the developer's account with a different Gmail account & let the previous association be let go off (and possibly not pay the $25 USD registration fee again).
Note: There is a similar question asked but I think it's incorrectly marked as a duplicate of a question which doesn't answer the question. (It answers How to transfer apps to another account).
I also beg to differ that the accepted answer also doesn't seem to answer the question.
Hence, asking & answering this as a separate question for the future readers.
You cannot change/transfer the ownership of a Google Play Console Developers Account.
Once a developer account is created, the email address used to register is permanently tied to the account.
From the Official Help:
Account owner email address and country
The account owner email address and country can't be changed. However,
you can create a new account using a different email address or
country and transfer your apps to your new account.
Accounts with published or unpublished apps
To transfer apps to a new account, go to our app transfer checklist.
Accounts without apps
If you haven't published any apps using your existing Play Console
account, you can create a new account and cancel your existing
account.
However, there is a workaround.
You can create a new developer account & make the payment for the same.
Transfer your apps to the new developer account.
Ask google to close the previous account & they will refund the registration fees of the previous account.
References From official Help Docs:
Transfer apps to a different developer account
Step 1: Make sure your Google Play Developer accounts are registered &
active
Before our team can transfer apps from your original account to a
different account, known as your target account, both Google Play
Developer accounts need to be fully registered and active.
Note: You need to pay the $25 USD registration fee for both accounts.
After the transfer is complete, if you want to close your original
account, our team can refund its registration fee.
Protect your developer account
Use a different account for your developer account
If your developer account is linked to your personal Google Account,
consider creating a new account to use for your developer account.
This way, if one account is compromised, the other account can still
be secure.
If you’ve already registered, our support team can transfer your apps
to a new account. To transfer your apps to a different account,
register a new developer account, then prepare and request the
transfer with our support team.
Note: If you close your old account, we will refund your original $25
registration fee.
2021 Method
You can change the ownership of your account to another in few steps and it usually takes a few hours to get everything done. Steps that I followed to transfers my account is as follows.
Unpublish all apps. all apps > setup > advance settings
Open a support ticket in google play support.
Wait for them to reply
Create a new developer account and reply them the details of both new and original accounts (account email and transaction ID/Order ID).
Google play support will reply with the transfer confirmation (with the refund).
You can transfer the ownership of apps, not the ownership of accounts.
Have you considered transferring the ownership of all your apps to the new account instead? It should have the same effect. See Transfer apps to a different developer account
I know about all the user account specification and where to register for the test account in developer console.
Question: To which user this message is referring?
The user that is currently logged in google play on device?
if yes. Why it is giving the same message even if there aren't any users logged in google play?
There is many google accounts on this device. maybe this message is referring to the default one. how to change it. (the default one: is when u clear google play data, then open google play it will force you to log in with).
When you are not logged in google play. why when you test in-app billing it does not ask for log in??
Thanks.
Your default Google Account will be used for purchasing... If you are unauthorized to buy items just make sure you add your device to the list of the test devices.
You default Google Account is the one you have registered at the first time on your device, I guess. Then you have to put that e-mail address on the list of "test devices" of your Google Play Developer Account and you will be able to purchase after some minutes.
If you want to use your own products you will need a real VISA to purchase. Alternatively, you can use static product IDs to purchase with a fake credit card.
Take a look at the Testing with static responses Google's official documentation to know when and what IDs you can use for testing purposes.
i have a developer account to upload android apk , but i have few queries
where does the incoming money of paid application falls , in my developer account ?
as the application will be paid so how my client gets the incoming money i.e. money which is being paid by the users ? do i need to give access to my developer account or i got to create a new for him ?
is there a way to integrate my clients under my developer account and they will get their payment on their google checkout ?
from my experience, you have a merchant account where all the payments goes.
This merchant account has the following details:
-Account holder name:
-Bank name:
-SWIFT code:
-IBAN:
Each month Google makes a payment and the money earned ends up in that account.
Sorry, but I don't think the third option is feasible.
Added:
I think the Merchant aacount is strictly connected with
the Developer Account. So I think you can only have one merchant account each developer account. Anyway, in settings you have "User accounts & rights"
From there, you can invite users to see your data.
You are currently the only person who has access to this Developer
console.
You can give access to this console to an unlimited number of people.
You will remain the owner of this console and will be the only person
who can grant or revoke access to other users.
If you have multiple clients then it is better to keep separate Google account for each. So your clients cannot see other application.
As a developer you can give access to all their accounts so that you can view and check updates.
So each client will have a separate financial details based on their bank.
I don't think you can have multiple financial details in google console. But you can raise your question to google play support team and they will confirm you.
