New Interface makes it horrific to change app price

Question

I am trying to update the price of an app, the new App Hub interface seems terrible if you want to go and change the price of your app. you have to select hundreds of dropdowns individually? Am I missing something?

Answer 1

in the hub page, you can click app property. in that page, you change base price for all countries.

Answer 2

I'm trying to update the price as well and on the App Property page the base price is $0.00 and I can't change it (drop down doesn't work)

Answer 3

that is because you don't enter your tax and bank info. after you add tax and bank info, you will see the price dropdown is enabled.

Answer 4

So I have to enter it all over again? It was there before.

Answer 5

In what page? I don't understand where you are saying.

The only place I see to change the price and market availability has a checkbox and dropdown for each country and one checkbox (but no dropdown) for all. It seems you have to select a price for each country individually, I can't set a .99 cent equivalent worldwide?

Answer 6

click the "App info" button from the hub page. it will take you to the page where you can change the base price.

Answer 7

I have completed both the e-W8-BEN form (without my country VAT id since it was optional,that happened at the day the new apphub was given to public) and my payout details. But still I cannot set the price of any app.

Answer 8

What page are you calling the hub page? I don't understand which page you are talking about which renders the rest of the instructions not very useful. Are you using the new interface? I don't see the labels you are referencing anywhere in the UI. "App info" "base price" "hub page"

I am using the following script added in developer tools to set the values for all the dropdowns, saving a lot of time. This is for .99 cent equivalent on all:

for(i=0; i<document.getElementsByTagName("select").length; i++){ document.getElementsByTagName("select")[i].selectedIndex=1; }

This is to set your app to free -

for(i=0; i<document.getElementsByTagName("select").length; i++){ document.getElementsByTagName("select")[i].selectedIndex=0; }

Please see the 2 images below that Dennis_Zhang was referring to as the Hub and the app info page.

The Pricing option for all the countries/regions is on the App info page.  You need to set the price here once and your app will be sold in the corresponding price tier.

The "Market selection and custom pricing" screen that you went to is to enable the new feature in Dev Center that allows you to sell your app at different price tiers in specific countries. This page also allows you to choose specific countries in which you want to sell your app

Answer 10

Does this work for updates too?

Answer 11

Ok, just found out that it is possible for UPDATEs too.

The Dev Center UI/worflow isn't very intuitive for me (=easy to do mistakes).
