Questions you may have
Does having an LLC guarantee eligibility?
No. Shopify also reviews the business activity and verification information required for the relevant entity type. Company formation is not a substitute for the full platform requirements.
Is this the same as developing a Shopify store?
Store development and payment setup involve different tasks. If both are required, each part is listed and agreed separately.
Reference: Shopify Payments US requirements ↗. Approval remains the platform’s decision.
