How to set up payments without a registered business india?

Topic summary

Main issue: The original poster says operating without registering a business is legal up to 40 lakh and asks which payment providers are available for this setup. (Lakh is an Indian numbering term; 40 lakh ≈ 4 million.)

Update: A reply links to Shopify’s list of payment gateways available in India and asks if further details are needed.

Scope and gaps: No specific guidance on which gateways accept unregistered businesses or any tax/compliance requirements was provided. No discussion of documentation thresholds or policies by providers.

Outcome: No decisions or concrete recommendations yet; the key question—payment options for an unregistered business—remains unanswered and the thread appears open.

Summarized with AI on December 12. AI used: gpt-5.

It is legal to have a business that isn’t registered up until 40 Lakhs.

I would like to know if any payment providers are available.
