**Step 2.** Follow the prompts in which it asks you.

**Step 3.** During these prompts, you will need to decide to either open an LLC or open it as an individual. You can either sign up as a Sole Proprietor or begin with an LLC. We recommend starting with an LLC, but you can sign up as a Sole proprietor and later switch to an LLC.)

**Step 4.** After deciding this, you’ll go ahead and collect the following to get approved.

* Bank routing number/Bank account number&#x20;
* Chargeable credit card
* &#x20;Government-issued national ID&#x20;
* &#x20;Tax information&#x20;

**Step 5.** Create a storefront name - we recommend using leandomain Something catchy. Something that flows smoothly. Keep it professional. Ex: Gladly Commerce&#x20;

**Step 6.** Next, you will need fill out the information it asks and schedule a verification call. During this verification call, you will need the information form "Step 4." Once you're done with this call, you may need to wait two to three business days until your account is approved
