Does Shopify require a business license to open a store?

This is not necessary. Whether you are registering as a company or an individual, you only need an email address and a credit card to register for Shopify. It can be said that there is basically no threshold, and anyone can go to Shopify to build a website and open a store.

To open a Shopify store and register, you only need to prepare the following information:

1. Dual currency credit cards, such as VISA and MasterCard are recommended, which are mainly used to collect store fees.

2. Email. It is recommended to use overseas corporate email, such as Hotmail, Gmail, etc. Otherwise, it is easy to be blocked or fail to receive emails from Shopify.

3. Mall domain name. When registering a Shopify account, sellers are required to fill in the domain name. It is recommended that sellers prepare it in advance to check whether it already exists or there are infringements, and make timely corrections.

How many Shopify stores can one person open:

Independent websites are different from all platforms like Amazon and Shopee. Independent websites have very high freedom of authority. There is no association. You can use one computer to open any number of independent websites and you can directly use a domestic IP to log in.

Even your materials can be sent with the same email address and the same credit card. We must know that an independent website is essentially a website built by ourselves. I am the boss of my own territory. So there are not so many rules. It is not a platform. Shopify is essentially just a tool for building websites. It is worth mentioning here that if you register multiple independent websites with the same email address, then Shopify can also link the multiple independent websites you registered together, and you can switch to different websites at will in the background to operate later.

After the above introduction, we know that Shopify does not require a business license to open a store, but you need to prepare credit cards, email addresses and other information. And when opening a store, one person can open multiple stores without causing any association.
