USFILED / THE READING ROOM

Shopify demands an SSN: what should an India-based owner check?

Check your entity type and the representative information Shopify is requesting. Current Shopify guidance provides a passport route for qualifying non-US representatives.

What matters in your case

US individuals and sole proprietors have different eligibility requirements from eligible registered entities. A US LLC does not remove identity checks.

Check the US checking account and ACH requirements, business eligibility and the actual notice. We fix company records; you resubmit.
