You will need a publicly accessible website for your pharmacy with a domain name linked to your organization. As part of the Lumistry package, you will receive a website with a domain that you can use to proceed to the next step.

You will need a custom email address associated with your pharmacy's domain name, such as owner@yourpharmacy.com, in order to enroll in the Apple Developer Program as a business. Apple does not accept personal email addresses created through free services such as Gmail or Outlook (I.E. owner@gmail.com)

If you do not have a domain-based email and would like Lumistry to create one for you, please contact us for more information and pricing. 

Once you have a business email address, you can now create your Apple ID.

1. Go to the Create Your Apple ID page.
2. Fill out the form using your business email address and complete all required security questions. 
3. Apple will send a six-digit verification code after filling out the form. Enter this code in order to complete registration.

The Data Universal Numbering System (D-U-N-S) number is a unique identifier that verifies the identity and legal status of your business. Apple uses this number to ensure your business is legitimate before permitting you to publish on their platform.

These numbers are automatically issued for free by a company called Dun & Bradstreet to eligible businesses. If you have registered as a legal entity in the past, you may already have a D-U-N-S number.

To locate your D-U-N-S number, follow the below steps:

1. Visit the Look up your D-U-N-S Number website provided by Apple.
2. Log in using your business's Apple ID.
3. Complete the form, and click Continue.
4. If your business was found, select it from the list and click Continue once more.

5. Your D-U-N-S Number will be emailed to you. You will need this number for the next step of registering with the Apple Developer Program.

What if my business was not found?

If your business is not found, you can request a D-U-N-S number from the same page. Apple will pre-populate your application with the information you entered previously — just confirm that the details are accurate and submit the form.

NOTE: After requesting a number, it may take up to five days to receive it from Dun & Bradstreet.
