Hi there, @Daniel_Der !

Thank you for your post, I’m happy to provide some information.

The payment providers that are available to you and your business vary by region. You can select your country on this page and see which gateways you can use. Each payment provider will have different requirements, and you can contact the ones you’re interested in to see if you’d be able to use their services without a registered company.

If you’re in a country that is eligible to use Shopify Payments, you can view the requirements here. These include:

  • Your Employer Identification Number (EIN)
  • Your banking information

Depending on your region, there may be additional information needed to set up Shopify Payments. Refer to the list of requirements for each supported country.

Most payment providers do require you to be registered as a business or sole proprietor for legal/tax purposes. If you’re unsure how to proceed, I recommend contacting a business support center in your area.

Please let me know if you have any other questions!
