Hi @Aurora_moda !

You can still open a Shopify store even if you are under 18. However, all the details and information that you will need to register as a store owner should be under your Parents or Guardians name and information. So basically, they will be the Store owner but, you are the one who will manage it by being the “staff” on that account. Here is the article for your reference and for more information: How To Start a Shopify Business Under 18 in 2024.
