Activate developer membership after payment

Hi,

After completing payment for the Apple Developer Program, activation typically occurs automatically within 24 hours for individual accounts, while organization enrollments may take 1 to 4 weeks due to additional legal and identity verification. 

• Immediate Activation: For most individual accounts, once the payment is processed and the status changes from "Pending" to "Active," you receive an email confirmation and gain immediate access to developer resources. 
• Verification Delays: Organization accounts require verification of legal business details (such as D-U-N-S numbers), which can extend the activation time significantly. 
• Payment Glitches: If payment is confirmed by your bank but the account still shows "Complete Enrollment" or "Pending" after 48 hours, do not pay again; contact Apple Developer Support with your Enrollment ID and Order ID.
• Manual Activation: Once the status updates to active, you can immediately log in to App Store Connect to upload apps and manage builds. 

If your membership expires and you renew, the new membership activates immediately upon completion of the renewal process, making your apps available for download again within 24 hours.
