Its an side hustle

Hey @joleetomislav .

Thanks for reaching out.

That is a great question! I am happy to inform you that you can have a Shopify store without a payment method. With that being said, If your customers or visitors would like to make a purchase, they will not be able to complete the checkout process. How you choose to run your Shopify store is ultimately up to you. However, if you are interested in adding a payment provider to your online store, feel more than welcome to take a look at the available payment gateways for Croatia.

Let me know what you think and if you have any questions.

Thank you, but i want to sell products without having registered business

Hey @joleetomislav .

Thanks for the quick response and clarification!

In this case, depending on the products that you would like to offer you can still make sales on your Shopify store using a third-party payment provider as an individual. My suggestion is to speak with your local authorities to learn more about the requirements in your location.

Let me know if you have any additional questions.
