Sorry for asking this question here,
Can I use my personal gmail account’s merchant id in my app? instead of using that developer account’s merchant id?

I am publishing an app to a developer account of which I am not the owner, and I am using In-App Purchases in my app. So I want to put my own account’s merchant id in my app (Not the developer account owner’s id).
Will it work properly? I mean if someone buy in app purchase so the payment will be debited in my account or the developer console owner’s account?

yes you can
but if I were that developer, I would not want you to publish an app in my name, see also

Thanks but actually we both publish apps to that account regularly and it’s my first time to put In-App Purchases in my app so that’s why I asked this 🙂
