If you have a physical business location that customers visit, or if you sell products and services online, you will need an EIN for Shopify. This identification number is used by the IRS to track businesses for tax purposes.

You can apply for an EIN online, through the mail, or by fax. The process is relatively simple and only takes a few minutes. Once you have your EIN, you will need to provide it to Shopify when you set up your account.

PRO TIP: If you are thinking about starting a Shopify store, you may be wondering if you need an EIN. The answer is maybe. If you are a sole proprietor with no employees, you likely don’t need an EIN. However, if you have employees or plan to have them in the future, you will need to obtain an EIN. You may also need an EIN if you plan to open a business bank account or apply for business credit.

Shopify is a popular ecommerce platform that allows businesses to sell products and services online.

In order to use Shopify, you will need to create an account and provide your business information. This includes your EIN.

An EIN is not required if you are a sole proprietor and do not have any employees. However, if you plan on hiring employees or contractors, you will need to obtain an EIN. Additionally, if you form a partnership or LLC, you will need an EIN.

Conclusion:

Yes, if you have a physical business location or sell products/services online, you will need an EIN for Shopify.
