You do not need to have a registered company to create a vendor account on Ermisway.
Ermisway allows eligible vendors to create a store and sell through the platform as individuals, self-employed persons, sole traders, companies, or other permitted legal/commercial forms, depending on their situation and the laws that apply to them.
However, this does not mean that every vendor can sell without any tax or legal obligations.
Each vendor is responsible for checking whether their activity requires:
- tax registration;
- a Tax Identification Number;
- VAT registration;
- self-employment or business registration;
- invoices or receipts;
- accounting records;
- licences, permits, or other approvals.
Ermisway does not decide whether a vendor must register with the tax authorities. This depends on the vendor’s country, activity, sales volume, product or service type, and personal/business situation.
For example, a person selling occasionally may have different obligations from a person selling regularly as a commercial activity. A vendor selling products may also have different obligations from a vendor offering services.
Ermisway may ask vendors to provide tax, identity, payment, or business information where required by law, Stripe, payment providers, fraud prevention rules, or platform compliance requirements.
If you are unsure whether you need to register with the tax authorities, have a Tax Identification Number, register for VAT, issue receipts, or declare income, you should speak with an accountant or tax advisor in your country.
