shopify payments new update - real activity verification!

[v6proxy]

Hi Folks!
Recently, Shopify started requesting proof of real activity in the country where the company that opened the store is registered, or proof that the user is a resident of that country. My setup has always been with a HK company or US/UK one, and I’ve opened stores like that for a long time, but now almost all my new stores got shut down because of this new verification. I even tried getting an office lease contract!

HAS ANYONE FOUND A SOLUTION FOR THIS PROBLEM?

Thank you!

never heard of a company that can actually verify this , what i used to do for proof of residence is just take an random invoice from a known company in that country (think of like water bills) and just edit the address to some random adress in that country. Most of the time these companies dont actually check what you send them they just want to verify that you send them something so the adress could fr just be blackhadstreet 55 newyork

What type of verification required? I am sure almost all can be faked

bro, what did u use for id verification, they now ask for HK id to proceed

I just created the company now i am applying for the Airwallex, later i will get shopify payments

A bit off-topic, but still: you said you use several storefronts. What platform are you using to manage them all?
