To publish your own private label version of the Pepperi native app for iOS requires you to upgrade your Pepperi subscription. Contact your Pepperi success manager.
Once you have upgraded your subscription the configuration tool for the Private Label app will be enabled in your Pepperi Web App Settings. The configuration is intuitive and you will be guided in the tool on graphic assets to load.
All businesses who want to publish an iOS app are first required to enroll in the Apple Developer Program. This article describes the process of enrolling in the Apple Developer Program as an organization. To enroll in the Apple Developer Program, you will need to pay a $99 (USD) annual publisher fee charged by Apple.

Requirements to enroll in the Apple Developer Program
- An Apple device, such as an iPhone, iPad, or Mac computer to complete Apple’s two-factor authentication process. Apple requires two-factor authentication for all Apple IDs and requires Developer Account Holders to sign in to their Apple Developer account using two-factor authentication. Two-factor authentication is built directly into iOS, macOS, tvOS, watchOS, and Apple websites which all require an Apple device such as an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 9 and later, or a Mac with OS X El Capitan or later. See, Apple’s Support: Two-Factor Authentication to learn how to set up two-factor authentication on your Apple device.
- An Apple ID. If you already have an Apple ID associated with your business email address you do not need to complete this step. Be aware that creating an Apple ID is not the same as creating an Apple Developer account. Follow this link to learn how to create your Apple ID. This Apple ID must be different from your personal Apple ID; Apple will use the email address associated with the Apple ID to bill the annual $99 (USD) publisher fee and email you app updates.
- A business domain email address. You must provide a private email domain name (e.g., email@yourbusiness.com). You cannot use Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, or any other email addresses from common email service providers.
- D-U-N-S® Number. A D-U-N-S Number is a unique numeric identifier assigned to a business by Dun & Bradstreet (D&B). It is used by Apple to validate your business’s identity and legal status. You cannot enroll in the Apple Developer Program without a D-U-N-S Number. Your organization’s legal entity name must match its entry in the D-U-N-S lookup. Before enrolling into the developer program, you can use the D-U-N-S look up tool to see if you already have a D-U-N-S lookup by logging in with your business’s Apple ID. If you don’t have a D-U-N-S Number, request a D-U-N-S Number. Make sure you have your business registration documents ready for D&B’s verification process.
- A business website URL. Your organization’s publicly available website with a domain name associated with your organization.
- Enrollment in the Apple Developer Program. After you have created your Apple ID and received your D-U-N-S Number, you can enroll into the Apple Developer Program. See Enrolling into the Apple Developer Program below to complete this step.
- Confirmation and payment for your Apple Developer Program membership. You can complete this step via the confirmation email Apple sends once you have successfully enrolled. You will need to pay a $99 (USD) annual publisher fee charged by Apple. We suggest selecting automatic renewal payments to avoid app service disruption.
- Assign Pepperi access to the App Store - App Store Connect Account API Key
