Hi there, I´ve created a Shopify account with my LLC business details (email and the intended website name), because I read this would be best if one plans to run operations as a company. However, if I go to settings => general, it prompts me to add ¨first¨ and ¨last name¨ and ¨Use your first and last name as they appear on your government-issued ID.¨ Should I be using my personal details instead?
background info: My LLC is registered in the EU and my store name is also different from my registered business name (this is quite usual situation in my country) - not sure if this impacts the store setup in any way.
Many thanks for your insights,
Brenda
If you’re setting up a Shopify store for your business, it’s best to use your LLC details for tax and legal purposes. However, Shopify requires a first and last name that matches your government-issued ID for verification and compliance.
Since your LLC is registered in the EU and your store name differs from your business name, this won’t impact your store setup. Just ensure that:
Your Shopify account is linked to your LLC details for tax and invoicing.
You provide your personal name where required for identity verification.
Your business name appears correctly in legal documents and customer-facing sections.
For payment processing and tax reporting, Shopify might still require your personal details even if you’re operating under an LLC. If unsure, check with Shopify Support or a local business advisor.
