Requirements to see distribution agreement

Hi,
is there any requirement to see (and accept) the distribution agreement in the dev backend? We would like to follow the steps mentioned here to publish our game with the new self publishing tools but we cannot get started because we don’t see the agreement. We can see other agreements though.

This is the message that appears when trying to click on Epic Games Store on the Product Page in the Backend.

It’s strange that access does not work for existing accounts, I hope they will solve the problem soon.

Thank you :wink:

Thanks for your question!
Seb answered this in the linked response, but also posting here -

The Publishing Tools are currently enabled by default for new organizations. If you don’t have an existing product that is already using Epic Online Services or Epic Account Services, the fastest way to get the publishing tools would be to create a new organization and a new product.
If you would like to keep your existing organization, or work with an existing product, please reach out in a private discussion (you’ll need to be logged in with your Epic Games account to do this) and provide your organization and product id, and our team can help you.
When you create your private discussion, please also specify one of the following choices:

  • I have an existing organization, and I would like to be able to create new products that are enabled for the publishing tools.

OR

  • I have an existing organization with an existing product that is using Epic Online services / Epic Account Service, and I need to enable it for the publishing tools.

Also, please be sure to select Epic Games Store in the topic dropdown.
Thanks!

Hey Gwynnie,
thanks for your reply! I followed those steps but haven’t heard back from Epic for a week now. Are there any updates on this?

Hey, thanks for letting us know! I will see if I can figure out what is going on with your case.
