Can I start a Shopify store under 18 in Texas?

[Christopher-R]

Hi, I’m 14 years old and I’m passionate about starting a dropshipping store. I live in Texas and they allow any minors to start a business. Your terms of service also state, that “at least the age of majority in the jurisdiction where you reside” will be able to create an account. With all the provided information will I be able to start dropshipping stores under 18 on Shopify or are there other complications? Thanks!

Hey Chris @Christopher-R unfortunately you can’t open one yet according to Shopify rules. Your best option would be to have one of your parents or guardians open it in your stead and then help work with the management of the store but you’d need to make sure it is in line with the Shopify regulations.
