i have some confusion about the shopify payments.Currently i am based in UAE/Dubai, and i starting a dropshiping store from UAE, but i wanna sell outside the country(NOT UAE).
1st : I do not have any kind of business in UAE, But a job person
2nd : i am living with a landord, So technically i do not have business address
3rd : i will use AutoDS or another supplier for shipping and inventory management
so what will i give if i shopify ask me for a business proof or business address, cause theres no sole proprietorship or individual account type accepted in UAE.
In Dubai, UAE and you wish to begin dropshipping to customers who are based overseas but without having a legal business or business address, then follow these tips: ā Shopify payments
It is not available in the UAE so go for third-party gateways such as PayPal or Payoneer. To open an account with any of them as an individual (no need for a trade license), you will have to use your Emirates ID and have an account in any UAE bank. ā Business address
Make use of your residential address (the one where you stay with the landlord). In case of anything, a rental agreement or utility bill will do as evidence. ā Business proof
For starting with Shopify, there is no need to get a license from the government. The same applies for PayPal or Payoneer at first instance. Just provide ID or address proof if requested later on. ā AutoDS
Since your supplier will be taking care of the shipping and inventory, there is no need for a business address when it comes to operations. ā Legal note
You may proceed under an informal setting but think about getting a freelance/free zone license once your earnings increase.
Take the following steps: put up Shopify using your home location adding PayPal/Payoneer, integrating AutoDS then test everything out. You are all set.
