Before you start an application, make sure you can meet these requirements. They're the same list the application itself enforces — an application missing any required item can't be submitted.
Eligibility requirements
- A US-based business with a registered legal entity — LLC, S-Corp, C-Corp, partnership, nonprofit, or sole proprietor.
- A tax ID — EIN for businesses, or SSN for sole proprietors. It's encrypted at rest; only the last four digits are ever displayed back to you.
- A W-9 on file (or W-8BEN for non-US persons).
- A business license or equivalent registration document.
- A Stripe account — we connect via Stripe Connect, and you keep your own Stripe dashboard. You can create the Stripe account during onboarding if you don't have one.
- Product rights — you either manufacture your products or hold brand authorization to resell them.
Required documents
Two documents are mandatory before you can submit:
| Document | Requirement |
|---|---|
| W-9 (or W-8BEN) | One of the two is required |
| Business license | Required |
You can also upload supporting documents where they apply to your business: a brand authorization letter, a utility bill, a government ID, or a bank statement. Uploads accept PDF, JPEG, or PNG up to 5 MB per file.
Required application fields
The submit step checks for all of the following, and tells you exactly what's missing if you skip one:
- Business legal name and DBA (the store name shoppers see)
- Business type
- Tax ID (EIN or SSN)
- Business address
- Authorized representative — name, title, email, phone
- Whether you're a manufacturer or a reseller
- The product categories you want to sell in
Categories that are off the table
Regardless of documents, some categories are not accepted at all: weapons, ammunition, and firearms; alcohol, tobacco, and cannabis/CBD; adult content; and live animals. Some other categories are restricted or require a license on file — see What you may not list and the live Restricted items policy.
