Topic summary
Merchant in Czechia seeks help setting up Shopify Payments without a registered business name and clarity on VAT/tax for cross‑border sales, plus TikTok app eligibility.
-
Shopify support shared Czechia requirements for Shopify Payments and noted sole proprietors can accept major payment types. They cannot provide legal/tax advice and directed the merchant to tax settings after consulting a local expert. The merchant is only being asked to enter a business name.
-
Community guidance on VAT: Czech VAT registration may not be needed until annual turnover exceeds 1,000,000 CZK (last 12 months).
-
Cross‑border compliance: For EU shipments from China, IOSS (Import One‑Stop Shop) is advised; for the UK, UK VAT registration is needed to use the Low Value Consignment (LVC) scheme. Norway VAT is optional; US likely no registration due to $800 import and ~US$100k state thresholds; Canada is complex and not recommended early on.
-
IOSS/UK VAT setup via a third‑party (easproject.com): numbers provided free; IOSS in 2–3 days, UK VAT longer; monthly fees from €9.90.
-
TikTok channel connection appears unavailable for Czech businesses; no solution provided.
Status: No direct Shopify assistance with registering a business name. Practical tax steps suggested by a community member; legal/tax specifics remain for the merchant to confirm locally.
