Sole proprietorship business registration

Payments + Shipping & Fulfilment
1

Hello,

I hope someone can help me on this regard. Im living in singapore and trying to start a dropshipping business as sole proprietorship model. I have used my legal name as my business name which qualifies me as a sole proprietorship. I do not have a business registration. But I cannot enable shopify payments unless i have a registration. How can I solve this? any help would be helpful.

Hey, @Sp3LLingzz !

Thank you for your post, and I’m excited to hear about your new business venture!

The verification documents to satisfy requests for Shopify Payments Singapore accounts are as follows:

Identity Documents

  • National Identity Card — Photos of front and back are required (Preferred, since it contains the NRIC/FIN number, which may be required at a later date).
  • If the National Identity Card is not available, we may be able to accept one of the following instead:
    • Passport
    • Driver license — Photos of front and back are required
    • Singapore Work Permit or Pass
    • Singapore Armed Forces Card
    • Singapore National Service Identity Card

Company/Entity Documents

If the Certificate of Registration of Entity is not available, we may also be able to accept one of the following:

  • Registration of Business Name
  • Registration of Limited Liability Partnership
  • Registration of Limited Partnership
  • Registration of Foreign Company

I’m trying to use the sole proprietor method where I use my legal name for business registration which is allowed in singapore. there is no method that accepts this. Please let me know how I can contact support to fix this. I have ended my trial because of this as I dont see a reason to use shopify if this is the case.
