Dropshipping FAQ
Do I need a US LLC to start dropshipping?▾
Not strictly — but without one you can't use Shopify Payments or Stripe in 90% of countries. A US LLC is the standard workaround.
Which state is best for dropshipping?▾
Wyoming. Anonymous LLCs, low fees ($60/year), no state income tax, and Mercury/Stripe approve them fast.
Do I owe US sales tax?▾
Only in states where you have economic nexus (typically $100K revenue or 200 transactions). For most starting dropshippers: no.
Can I use my Wyoming LLC for global sales?▾
Yes. The LLC is the legal entity; you sell to customers worldwide and the LLC receives the payments.
