Can I change my Shopify store's business address to a different country?

Hello

my name is stephen

I have started an shopify store about an month ago. https://thetimelyco.co.za/

I am currently living in South Africa but only shipping to the uk usa australia and new zealand ( due to shipping prices to south africa is absurd )

Can I change my business address to one of those countries ?

Hello, @stephen791

This is a common problem for a lot of international businesses. If you can find a legitimate address service you could avoid a lot of legal issues since your stated address would be legitimate.

For legal reasons I can’t give direct company suggestions so I can only suggest searching on google and thoroughly researching your shortlisted candidates’ histories.

Thanx for the reply

My father in law stays in the uk so giving his address wont be a problem?

Hello, @stephen791

You would likely need written permission from him, an ok from shopify and just to cover yourself, just seek a $5 lawyer consultation from both jurisdictions.

It’s a lot cheaper than fines and other legal fallout.
