Do I need to be a business to sell on Shopify?

[Assembly]

Im from Portugal and i have a store set up, but to configure Shopify Payments it says I need to be a sole businessman. Is there a way I can make sales without configuring Shopify Payments?

Hey, there! If you'd like to stick with Shopify Payments, please refer to the requirements for Shopify Payments here. You also have the option of using a third-party payment provider, but keep in mind that this will include transaction fees, and third-party payment providers may also require business documents for verification purposes.

Yes, you can definitely make sales without configuring Shopify Payments. While Shopify Payments is convenient, it's not the only option for processing payments on your Shopify store. Here are some alternatives:

1. Third-party payment gateways: Shopify integrates with many payment providers. Some popular options that may be available in Portugal include:
   • PayPal
   • Stripe
   • 2Checkout
   • Adyen
2. Manual payment methods: You can also set up manual payment options such as:
   • Bank transfer
   • Cash on delivery (if applicable to your business model)
