Which payment options for dropshipping don't require an ABN?

Topic summary

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.

Hi, new user here.

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?

Thanks,

Hi @derpxx ,

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:

  1. Stripe: Stripe is a payment processor that integrates with Shopify and allows you to accept credit card payments directly on your store.

  2. Square: Square is another popular payment processor that also integrates with Shopify.

  3. Amazon Pay: Amazon Pay allows your customers to use the payment and shipping information stored in their Amazon account to checkout on your store.
