What are the requirements for using the Shopify Collective sales channel?

Updated on Sep 08, 2026

To use Shopify Collective, your store needs an active Shopify plan, a location and store currency on Shopify's supported list, a fully activated Shopify Payments account with active payouts, and a Shopify Payments payout currency that matches your store currency.

Businesses based in Canada, the UK, or the EU also need a verified tax registration and a tax setup other than Manual Tax. Every store needs to comply with Collective's and Shopify's terms of service and acceptable use policies, meet Collective's trust and safety requirements (which can include identity verification), and have Shopify Network Intelligence turned on.

To connect with a retailer you specifically invite, your store also needs to be in the same country and use the same currency as that retailer's store.
