Hello, I started working on my own e-shop, at the moment I am just starting and therefore I do not have a trade license (paper on doing business). But I would like to use the option of payment using Visa, Master Card, Paysafe and more. But at the moment there is only one payment option for which I have a Paypal authorization, so I want to ask if there is any way to pay via credit cards without having to obtain a VAT identification number.
Hello @Kaiba !
I understand what you’re saying here - it can be complicated to add a gateway that processes cards as most of them do indeed require a VAT number for you to be able to integrate them with your store.
What country are you based in? It would help you to narrow down your search if you had a look at what is available on Shopify in your particular region on our payment gateways page. Just select your country from the list at the bottom and the options will appear for you. It might take some research and trial and error by either looking into the documentation of those gateways or contacting their support centres, but you might find an option there that does not require the VAT number!
Also, congratulations on taking the first step and getting started! Besides setting up your payment gateway, how are you finding Shopify so far? Please tell me a little more about your business and products and I will see if there is anything else I can advise here!
