Hi!

 

That's a good question! Luckly you can just upload your own passport from your own country. It doesn't need to be in the country you have your company. Please do keep in mind that you might need to provide some extra documents. Also you need to make sure you're authorized to sign on behalf of your company.

 

For now it doesn't look like you'll run into issues soon, and if you do the Shopify support team will always be ready to help you!

 

Good luck with your new store!

If you're having trouble with Shopify Payments due to non-UK residency, dropshipping, or document limitations, I recommend using WallidPay as your payment gateway.

WallidPay is designed for merchants like you who:

  • Own a UK LTD company but live outside the UK

  • Don't have UK utility bills or local proof of address

  • Are dropshipping or selling high-risk or restricted items (like CBD, vape, supplements)

WallidPay works globally, integrates with Shopify, and offers fast onboarding without strict location requirements.
