Is it possible to change store country to the US with an LLC?

Hi, I would like to change my Shopify store country to the US, because my current store country (Maldives) has very limited payment portals available. If I register an LLC and open a US bank account, then will it be possible for me to change the store country to the US?

Yes, for sure if you had an LLC and can open a US bank account.

Yes, it is possible to change the country of your Shopify store to the US if you have a registered LLC and a US bank account. However, it's important to note that simply registering an LLC and opening a US bank account may not be enough to change your store country to the US.

Shopify has certain requirements and regulations for changing the store country, and you will need to ensure that you meet all the criteria before requesting the change. Some of the requirements may include having a physical address in the US, a tax ID number, and a US-based payment gateway.

It's recommended that you reach out to Shopify's support team to confirm the specific requirements for changing your store's country to the US and to get assistance with the process. They may also be able to provide guidance on setting up a US-based payment gateway and other relevant details.

Overall, changing the country of your Shopify store can be a complex process, but it is possible with the right documentation and support.
