All things Shopify and commerce
I currently have finished designing and adding products to my print on demand store, but I am under 18 and unable to submit the necessary documents to be able to register my business. is there any way my parent can do this without a staff account, and just do it on my account instead?
im just wondering if I am a minor and I created the website is there any legal way I can start accepting payments without using staff accounts?
Hi there, @Hondo.
Welcome to the Shopify Community, and thanks for sharing your question.
Based on our Terms of Service, you must be the older of: (i) 18 years, or (ii) at least the age of majority in the jurisdiction where you reside and from which you use the Services to open an account. You can open the account under your parent/legal guardians name, however it is important that you take their consent, as their banking details and personal information will be added to Shopify.
