My Shopify account is in the name of one of my parents. I was wondering what parts of the information have to be theirs and what I can put as mine. Does the SSN and name have to be their but the routing number and account the payments go to be mine?
Hey, @KJ9
Eunice here from Shopify. Thanks for posting, and welcome to the Community!
Since you are under the age of 18 you do need some assistance from a parent or legal guardian. The main account owner, contact information, and bank account details for the payouts need to be under your guardian’s name. You can have a staff account under your name and when you turn 18 your guardian will be able to transfer ownership of the store to you.
I’d love to learn about your store. What do you plan to sell? If you haven’t already, I recommend checking out our YouTube channel - Learn with Shopify - for some great tips and step-by-step tutorials on how to start and grow your business.
