Shopify Payments Jurisdictional Verification Rules
To activate Shopify Payments on a US registered store, Shopify requires proof of commercial presence in the United States. In addition to a registered US business entity (LLC or C-Corp) and an EIN from the IRS, merchants must provide a legitimate US customer contact phone number.
This number is displayed on customer order confirmation emails, packing slips, and credit card statement descriptors. Mismatched or non-functional phone numbers frequently trigger merchant payout holds.
