Any way to have credit/debit payment option without business license on my store?

[Thanin]

Paypal Business will require a registered business name, and so does many other third party payment methods. I just want to start my business first as a side hustle and a small company, but I can't do that because I can't find available payment methods that are available for the customer.  Shopify payments isn't available in my country (Thailand). Please help, I have been looking for hours and still can't find a solution. I don't understand how people with no business licenses were able to start their store and accept some sort of payment.

It also says after a few sales they will help me set up my PayPal business account? I won't be able to do that without a registered business, right?

Dear @Thanin,

One option is to add Google pay as a payment option.

Send me a DM for more details.

[Thanin]

Hey @N_Abey , Thanks for your reply.

I can't find a way to DM, but hope it is ok if you can find other contact methods or answer me here. Google pay is the only platform that can implement credit and debit card options to my store without any business licenses? 

[N_Abey]

Dear @Thanin,

yes, But remember Google pay accept all types of card types. 😉

Thanks for the help @N_Abey !

Just found out Oganro can integrate "Google Pay" as a standalone payment processor to any Shopify Store. 😉  This is fab..

Hi, did you manage to find a third party payment provider that works for you in Thailand? Since Shopify Payments is not available to us? What did you end up using and what was the process of setting up/transaction fees.

Hey, I just read that if I want to connect Google payments, I'll have to connect Shopify Payments first, and to connect Shopify payment I need to have a business license. How can I solve this?

Hi @N_Abey , Would you please suggest a payment method that doesn't require a business setup in UAE or GCC?

Also, would it be a problem if I change my store location to maybe integrate one of those payment methods if they aren't supported in my region?  I will be dropshipping and it's my first time so I'm really hesitant to commit to license expenses without seeing a positive outcome. 

And apologies for adding another comment to the thread since has been already resolved.

Hi did you find a solution 

[Kukieco]

hello! I am having the same problem, I am in the US but my business isn’t registered yet. I only sell cookies to people I know but I want them to not have the hassle to having to message me all the time. And its only a side hustle I do, something to not burn me out with my main job. I love it.

looking at the payments, they all need some sort of registered number or ein. Is there a payment option I can put into that still accepts major credit cards? Thanks! 

[Electronics23]

I’m in the US as well , did you find one ?
