Why This Matters

  • Transparency: It shows customers you are a legitimate, registered business.

  • Legal Compliance: In many countries, failing to provide a physical address and contact info can lead to fines.

  • Trust: Payment gateways (like Stripe or Shopify Payments) often look for a physical address to verify your account.

Quick Question: Is your business registered in the United States, or are you operating out of Europe/UK? The requirements for "Dispute Resolution" and "VAT" change quite a bit depending on your location.
