Main topic: identifying Shopify-compatible payment processors for a dropshipping store that can be used without an ABN (Australian Business Number).
Key suggestions provided:
Stripe: credit card processor that integrates with Shopify.
Square: widely used processor with Shopify integration.
Amazon Pay: lets customers pay using their Amazon account details.
Context/clarification: The poster wants alternatives beyond Shopify Payments and PayPal, and prefers not to register a business (no ABN). The reply frames these three options as usable even without an ABN and notes their Shopify integration.
Outcome/status: The original poster acknowledged the suggestions and plans to consider them. No final decision or verification of provider-specific ABN requirements was made, and the discussion remains open without a confirmed solution.
Looking to start a store for dropshipping soon, as a hobby and not necessarily as a registered business (no ABN right now, although if totally necessary I could get one). Other than Shopify’s default payments and PayPal, what other payment options can I use that don’t require an ABN to use?
This is Kate from PageFly - Landing page builder, I’d like to suggest this idea:
If you are looking to start a dropshipping store without registering a business with an ABN, you can use the following payment options in addition to Shopify Payments and PayPal:
Stripe: Stripe is a payment processor that integrates with Shopify and allows you to accept credit card payments directly on your store.
Square: Square is another popular payment processor that also integrates with Shopify.
Amazon Pay: Amazon Pay allows your customers to use the payment and shipping information stored in their Amazon account to checkout on your store.
