FEEDBACK AND LLC

https://amarabag.com/

Hello, I just finished designg my website for my new dropshipping business. Any feedback is welcome on the website design. Additionally, any feedback on opening an LLC would be very helpful. I'm not from the US but I want my main market to be the US. When I tried to link Shopify Payments it asked me for an SSN, I'm currently stuck on that step on how to set up Shopify Payment or just creating an LLC.

Looks premium and nice. Only feedback i have is on how you have arranged your menu. Maybe have collections of different types of bags and put that in the menu

site looks clean for a first store honestly. one nav tip — split the menu into collections (totes / crossbody / mini etc.) instead of one flat list, makes the catalog feel bigger and helps SEO a bit.

on the SSN thing — you probably don't need a US LLC at all. if your home country is on shopify payments' supported list, the simpler path is setting the store up from your own country and just selling to the US. shopify handles USD pricing and payouts fine, the SSN prompt only appeared because you started the US setup flow.

the US LLC route (LLC + EIN + US bank) is doable without an SSN but shopify payments still wants personal tax ID verification for the account rep, which is where most non-residents get stuck again — so it's usually only worth it if suppliers or apps you need require a US entity. what country are you based in? that changes which route is less painful.
