Do I need a DBA for my sole proprietorship?

Shopify Discussion

Hi, I’m trying to start selling here on Shopify as a sole proprietor and I’ve ran into the issue of whether or not I need to register for a “Doing Business As” or not. Since I am a sole proprietor I am supposed to be using MY legal name as my business name, so I assume that should go into the “Legal name of Company” category in the store details section. But my question is if I have the “Store name” set to something different without MY legal name being included, would I need to register for a dba?
