Apple's App Store Connect has a new requirement; you must now "let us know whether or not you’re a trader" in order to comply with the European Union's [Digital Services Act](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Services_Act) .

> To submit new content to the App Store, Apple Books, or Apple Podcasts, you need to let us know whether or not you’re a trader. The Digital Services Act in the EU requires Apple to verify and display trader contact information for all traders who may distribute content in the EU.
>
> Complete Compliance Requirements
It then requires you to pick one of two options:
> Digital Services Act Compliance [(image)](https://i.sstatic.net/AmGEz.png)
> Specify if you will distribute any content in the capacity of a trader or non-trader with respect to European Union (EU) law.

What is a **"Trader"** according to the EU DSA?
Should developers indicate that they are a trader, or not? What determines if an individual or business App Store Connect account is an EU trader?
