International payment solutions
The payment gateway does not only consider the certificate of establishment. ECM Global helps you prepare a verifiable commercial presence, where the legal entity, bank, website and operational documents match each other.
Shopify Payments US
Shopify Payments US is an integrated payment solution on Shopify for businesses that meet operating conditions in the United States. Businesses can receive payments from customers via methods supported by Shopify, and manage transactions on the Shopify system.
To set up Shopify Payments US, customers need to prepare a US business profile and verification information such as bank account, owner, and business website as required by Shopify.
ECM Global supports US LLC formation and the preparation and setup of a Shopify Payments US application. The Shopify Payments US setup fee is VND 2,295,000 under the price list effective 25 April 2025; other items depend on the actual application. Shopify makes the approval decision.
PayPal Business
PayPal Business is a payment account for businesses, supporting receiving and sending international payments, managing transactions and integrating payments on websites or e-commerce platforms.
Businesses need to prepare documents appropriate to the country or region of registration, including legal entity information, owner or representative, bank account, business website and related verification documents.

Should I form a company in the United States, Singapore or Hong Kong?
Each jurisdiction has different rules, maintenance costs and operating requirements. The choice depends on your business model, customer markets and payment needs. ECM Global can outline options for you to consider before registering.
Can I use an overseas company to apply for Shopify Payments or PayPal Business?
