Main issue: Whether one Shopify Payments gateway/account can be used across two separate Shopify stores.
Outcome: Not possible. Each Shopify store must have its own Shopify Payments account and distinct payment settings. Shopify Payments is only available in certain countries/regions.
Requirements per store:
Clarification (US-based merchant): You may use the same business information across multiple Shopify Payments accounts (subject to regional requirements). You must provide any requested supporting documents for the region where you’re applying.
Next steps: Set up Shopify Payments separately for each store; reuse the same business details where permitted and ensure all eligibility, banking, and compliance documents are in order.
Status: Resolved with clear guidance; no outstanding questions identified.

Hi, @DVK123 .
Welcome to the Shopify Community.
Could you advise where your store is based? The reason I ask is that Shopify Payments is only available to stores in certain countries/regions.

Hi, Victoria
Thank you for your swift response and the clarity provided on setting up Shopify Payment gateways for distinct stores.
To clarify, my business operates in the United States. I understand from your email that each store requires a separate payment gateway setup due to individual configurations and settings. My primary query revolves around whether the same business information, such as LLC and bank account details, can be utilized for setting up the payment gateways for two different stores.?
Your guidance on whether using identical business information for multiple stores is permissible and compliant with Shopify’s regulations and requirements would be greatly appreciated. I aim to ensure that all setups are in line with the applicable laws, terms, and conditions to avoid any discrepancies or issues down the line.
Looking forward to your response and further guidance on this matter.
Best Regards,

Thanks for your questions, @DVK123 .
Yes, that’s correct. Each store would need to have their own Shopify Payments account. In regard to your question, you can use the same information over multiple Shopify Payments accounts. You’ll need to ensure that you’re providing the supporting documents requested for the region that you’re applying for.
