As part of the process to launch your white-labeled Spencer app on the Google Play Store, we require you to set up a Google Play Developer Account.

Why You Need a Google Play Developer Account

  1. White-Labeled App – Since Spencer is a white-label solution, each customer has their own branded app in the Play Store under their company’s name.

  2. Compliance with Google’s Policies – Google has become increasingly strict with its Play Store policies. Hosting all Spencer apps under our own account poses a compliance risk. If one app encounters an issue, it could affect all apps under our account.

  3. Simplified Distribution via Intune – Having the app in your own Play Store account allows for seamless distribution within your organization, especially if you use Intune or another Mobile Device Management (MDM) solution. We will only need your organization name and organization ID to assist with this.

What We Need from You

  1. Google Play Developer Account Setup

    1. If your company does not already have a Google Play Developer Account, it must be created at Google Play Console.

    2. Once the account is set-up, which does require validation by Google, your IT team will need to create the app itself first in the Play Console simply by clicking the Create App button. The rest will be managed by the Spencer team once they have access.

  2. Provide Access to Spencer

    If you already have a Google Play Developer Account, please add [email protected] as a user with admin access to the Spencer app only. This ensures we can handle the submission and updates without accessing any other apps in your account.

Limited Access Scope

Rest assured — our team only requires access to the Google Play Console.
We do not need access to any other systems or sensitive company data.

You stay in full control of your Play Store account and can revoke access at any time.

If you have any concerns or need any further assistance with the setup, please let us know—we’re happy to help.
