At a glance: Transfer apps between AppsFlyer accounts by following the steps described in this article (for admins of both the sender and receiver accounts).
App transfer between accounts
In order to transfer an app between AppsFlyer accounts, both the sending and receiving app owners (as represented by their AppsFlyer account admins) must complete the necessary transfer prerequisites and agree to the transfer.
Prerequisites
- Make sure you have emails of both the sender and the receiver's account (owner)
- Both accounts are active. Suspended accounts can't send or receive apps.
- Neither account has unpaid invoices
- Transferring apps between accounts can only be done by an account owner. It can't be performed by an admin role.
- App transfer must be to an account with a Growth or Enterprise plan. Learn more
App transfer process
The following is an overview of the app transfer process:
- The sender requests that AppsFlyer transfer the selected apps and enters the receiver admin's email address.
- The receiver is notified and agrees to receive the apps.
- Both sender and receiver admins receive notice of the pending transfer (by email and on the My apps page).
Note: While the transfer is pending, either admin can delete the app transfer request (cancel the transfer). - AppsFlyer transfers the apps. If a prerequisite is incomplete, AppsFlyer contacts the relevant party to ensure completion.
