Questions about earnings

Can I earn money by renting out my console?

Yes. Verified publishers pay to use seasoned accounts. But while an app sits on your account you're the publisher of record, so vet the apps, sign a contract, and never sell or share your master login. The honest earning guide.

How do publishers pay — monthly, per app, or revenue share?

All three exist: a flat monthly rent per console, a per-app fee, or a share of the revenue the published apps earn. The right model depends on the publisher and what they're putting on your account.

Can I rent my own console out to ConsoleMint?

If you own a verified account and want to earn from it, working with a verified publisher like ConsoleMint is far safer than dealing with anonymous buyers — clear terms, apps you can vet, and a contract. Rent it out; never sell it. More on earning safely.

Do I need a bank account and PAN to earn from apps in India?

To receive money from paid apps or in-app purchases you need a Google payments profile linked to an Indian bank account, and Google collects your PAN for tax reporting. Free apps with no in-app purchases need no payments profile at all — only the one-time $25 registration. Earnings are paid out monthly once your balance crosses the payout threshold, converted to INR at Google’s exchange rate.
