  2. In the top navigation, click Agreements, Tax, and Banking.

  3. Under Request Contracts, find Paid Applications and click Request.

  4. Agree to the terms of the contract when prompted.

  5. After requesting, you’ll see a new section labeled Contracts In Process.

  6. Complete the following sections:

    • Contact Info: Provide your legal contact details.

    • Bank Info: Add the bank account where payments should be sent.
