Hi, I’m based in South Korea and I am generating a new Shopify store. I’m targeting to sell my products to customers in the US and Europe but payment method such as Stripe, Shopay, and Paypal seem to be unavailable to use in Korea. Is it okay to set my location as United States or somewhere else in Europe for my Store? I’m confused with all the tax duties and stuff.

Hi, @Chrischa !
Thanks for reaching out in our Community Forums and for sharing your concern, I’d be happy to help.
I understand that you are currently in the process of setting up your Payment gateway for your store. However, there are specific conditions that must be followed in order to ensure that you are in compliance with the terms. For instance, you must maintain an accurate location in the Shopify Admin. Before moving forward with the change, you will want to review Shopify’s terms of service, as well as the payment gateway’s terms to ensure that you are following the correct requirements.
For example, here are the terms that must be followed if you were looking to register for a Shopify Payments Account in the US: You are obliged to identify the location from where you are operating the business that will use the Payments Services in United States. By registering for a Shopify Payments Account, you are confirming that you are either a legal resident of United States or you are duly established and, if necessary, registered or licensed as a business entity authorized to conduct business in United States.
Hope this helps!
If you have a Stripe US account here is the solution that works regardless your store’s location >> https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/boost-your-us-shopify-sales-accept-various-payment-methods-uol5f
