Shopify's KYC is strict and bypassing it at 17 will lead to instant store shutdown and fund seizure; your only viable option is to partner with a trusted adult (like a mentor or older sibling) to legally open the account, then operate it yourself with their oversight until you're 18.

your not going to suddenly be a millionaire thanks to bypassing kyc and making a store before your 18. If your idea has traction. It will work in a year. There are websites that you can make money from that have been going for 3 decades! lol

you can absolutely launch your store by having a parent or guardian open the account in their name and adding you as a staff member so you can legally build and run your business .
I'm aware, and I'm aware of those websites. I will be focusing on building an audience to have advantage when dropping.
