Getting your church app
live is complicated.
We make it not.
Apple and Google require developer accounts before Subsplash can publish your app. Setting them up involves dozens of steps, waiting periods, government IDs, JSON files, and enough technical jargon to derail anyone. We guide you through every single one.
What you're actually signing up for
Here's what Apple and Google
actually require.
This is the honest picture. It's not overwhelming if you have a guide — but it's more than "just create an account."
Where people get stuck
The traps that cost
hours of your day.
These are the real reasons people call Subsplash support three times before going live. We've built the fix for every one into the wizard.
The hidden prerequisite
The DUNS number
almost nobody knows about.
Before Apple will let you enroll, they require a DUNS number — a free 9-digit ID issued by Dun & Bradstreet that proves your church is a real organization. Most churches have one and don't know it. Some need to get one. A few have outdated info that will cause Apple to reject them.
The name problem
Your app store name
and your legal name
probably don't match.
Apple and Google require your developer account to match your IRS-registered legal name exactly — things like "First Baptist Church of Atlantis, Inc." But your app store listing needs to say something people will actually recognize, like "Deep Church..." That conflict stops a lot of churches cold.
Apple requires "Organization" enrollment under your legal entity name. If your legal name is "First Baptist Church of Atlantis, Inc." but your app needs to say "First Baptist Atlantis" — Apple needs proof you have the right to publish under that public name.
Without that proof, Apple may reject your app submission or list you under your full legal name — which looks wrong in the App Store and on your users' phones.
The answer is a DBA (Doing Business As) letter — a document that says "this organization legally operates under this public name." Think of it like a business proving they own a brand before publishing under it.
The wizard checks whether you need one, and if you do, walks you through creating a simple DBA letter on the spot — pre-filled with your organization's legal name, public name, and address. No lawyer required.
The finish line
Getting everything
into Subsplash.
Creating the accounts is only half the job. Subsplash needs specific credentials entered into their dashboard before they can publish your app. This is where most people get lost — they have everything but don't know where it goes.
The wizard walks you through every one of these steps in order — and the Smart Context Window keeps your credentials ready to copy and paste as you go.
What the wizard does
Your co-pilot for
every screen.
You still work in Apple and Google's sites — but you're never alone, never guessing, and never starting over.
Pricing
One price. All in.
Worth it the first time you would have called support for an hour.
