Hi Hellen:

I have a corporation in US, EIN Number, and all papers in order, products are fulfilled in US but don't have a SSN. I can send you all the papers you need. Can you please help me to finish  the shopify payments option.

Thank you very much

Hello Helen, same here with the US-based Corporation but the owner is a non-US citizen. We have a presence in the US and we fulfill orders from US. The paperwork is ready and it would be great if you can help me set up shopify payments account. Thank you.

Hello Helen!

I want to activate Shopify Payments with my EIN number, but without SSN. My business operate in Venezuela, not in US. The currency in Venezuela (BsF) has a big big Inflation, that's why we are using a US corporation and bank account from US.

Could you please help me with any information about verification needed to achieve my goal? 

Thanks!
