⚠️ Currently, Premium Apps are available to developers based in the US, UK, and European Union but check back here and in the Discord Developers server for future announcements
Premium Apps are the key to taking your app or activity to the next level. In this article, we’ll go step by step to help you tap into our end-to-end solution for monetizing your application and offering your app’s most loyal users new features.
Prerequisites
Before considering monetization for your app, here are some fundamental requirements that will need to be met:
App Is Owned By A Team
If you don’t have a Team and/or an App you can create them from the Developer Portal. If your app is Verified but not yet owned by a Team, you can request an ownership transfer by submitting a ticket to the Developer Support team.
App Is Verified
If your Team owns an App but it isn’t verified, check out this article for more information on applying for app verification.
If your app does not currently meet these initial requirements, work to accomplish them and you will gain access to the Monetization Onboarding flow.

Next Steps
When your app or activity meets the above requirements the “Getting Started” button under the Monetization section should now lead you to the onboarding flow.
Onboard
The onboarding flow involves a series of steps and automated checks, providing payment information, and finally agreeing to the Monetization Terms and Monetization Policy which must be completed by the Team Owner.
For more guidance please visit the Premium Apps Onboarding article.
Monetize
Finally, once you have completed onboarding successfully, you are ready to begin monetizing! You can do this by adding SKUs (stock-keeping units) to your app and integrating them into your code.
For more guidance on setting up SKUs check out the Premium Apps SKU and Store Setup article or visit the Monetization Overview in the Discord Developer Documentation.
Keep in mind that you, your App, and your Team are always required to adhere to the Terms of Service, Community Guidelines, Developer Terms, and Developer Policy.
