I would like to transfert the ownership of a google extension I'm managing

[Alexandre Morgaut]

A colleague will replace me to maintain it 

Could you make it transferred to its own developer dashboard

Thank you

Hi Alexandre

You can find the Chrome Web Store account transfer request form here:

https://support.google.com/chrome_webstore/contact/dev_account_transfer

Assuming that we're talking about an extension hosted on Google's extension gallery, there's no mechanism for transferring ownership available in the developer dashboard. Transfers of ownership have to be done manually by someone internally.

Until there's a better mechanism for this (multiple owners, for instance), I'd suggest that you create a new Google account to share between the extension's owners, and ask for that address to be assigned ownership.

Good luck!

You may also want to consider setting up.

This link proposes to change the ownership of an editor account

I do not have an editor account 

The project is only published to be shared via private links, it is not available on the public store

You must submit the form, follow the steps, be patient and wait.

Good luck!

Is this method still relevant (2024)? A redirect to the general form occurs https://support.google.com/chrome_webstore/contact/one_stop_support

Yes, it is still valid. The updated path is through One Stop Support.

And I understand correctly that if the extension is transferred to another owner as a result of a purchase and sale, then this is not a violation of the rules?

Yes, you understand correctly. I would encourage you to ensure that you are selling to a reputable person or company, as extensions are frequently targets of malicious developers. It has happened a number of times that developers "sell" their extension to bad actors who in turn never actually send money, or attempt to charge back the money that had been sent after the extension was in their hands.

best!

If I stupidly deleted the publishing group, could this affect the ability to transfer extensions? I created it in order to be able to respond to reviews not from a personal account, but from the one that I specified as a contact email (something like a support account). But in the end it did not help, and at the same time, when I went to the publishing group, the list of extensions there was empty (they were displayed in the list under the original publisher). And so I deleted the publishing group, deciding that there was no point in it, and only then found out that there is a lifetime quota for one group, and that even with deletion it is not reset

How long does the transfer take?
