The Shopify terms of service require you to be at least 18 years old to open a Shopify account.
Hi @Jairoa21,
Great question. As mentioned you will need to use an account through your parents or gauradian until you're 18 years old per the Shopify Terms of service states.
Because of the store being in your parent or gauradians name, it will affect their taxes. I recommend you let your parents or guardian know this and advise them to speak to a local tax authority/ official about any other aspects on that side. I would also recommend to speak to a lawyer for any legalities which might be included in starting a small business.
I hope that answers your question and let me know if you have any others!
