US Business Bank Account for Shopify Payments Inquiry

Hello,

I am US non-resident living outside USA and I have an LLC registered in the US. I would like to ask am I eligible for Shopify payments if I have a US Business bank account but not US personal bank account?

Thanks

Hi there, @hassan101 !

Welcome to the Community! Definitely a great place to gather some input regarding anything about the platform! We have a great group of contributors who are always willing to provide their own expertise and experience with regards to Shopify!

With regards to what you are asking, given that the business will be based in the USA as well as your bank accounts, I do not see why you will not be eligible to use Shopify Payments.

As for the banking requirements for Shopify Payments, I recommend you review this help document from us for further information regarding this. It states that the bank account must be with a physical bank in the United States, in USD currency, and eligible for ACH transfers. I have also attached the entire document that goes over other requirements for Shopify Payments for your reference. It goes over the following information for you:

Moreover, given your situation, just simply be prepared to provide documents proving your ownership of these accounts if the time comes since our Shopify Payments Team are always reviewing stores and their documents. As long as you’re able to show the required documents to us, your usage of this gateway should be in the clear.

I also recommend you give our free trial a go as it is the best way to get a firsthand experience of the platform and how our features can help you and your business. Also, once you have the account created, you can reach out to our live support team for a more specific kind of assistance since they will be able to open up the back end of your account and settings and see a clearer picture of your business when it comes to using Shopify Payments.
