Does Shopify Affect Credit Score?

Last updated on October 2, 2022 @ 12:16 am

It’s no secret that credit scores are important. They can affect everything from whether or not you’re approved for a loan to what interest rate you’re offered. So, it’s natural to wonder if something as seemingly innocuous as signing up for a Shopify account could have an impact on your credit score.

The short answer is: no, signing up for Shopify will not affect your credit score. This is because Shopify (and other ecommerce platforms) is not considered a line of credit.

PRO TIP: Warning:

Shopify may affect your credit score. If you’re thinking about using Shopify to sell products online, be sure to check with your credit provider first to see if this will impact your score.

When you sign up for Shopify, you’re simply establishing an account with a payment processor. You’re not borrowing any money or taking on any debt.

Of course, there are indirect ways that using Shopify could affect your credit score. For example, if you use Shopify to sell products online and then use the proceeds to pay off debt, your credit score could potentially improve. Similarly, if you use Shopify to sell products and then use a credit card to finance your inventory, your credit score could be impacted if you don’t make your payments on time.

Bottom line: signing up for Shopify will not have a direct impact on your credit score. However, there are indirect ways that using Shopify could impact your score. If you’re concerned about how using Shopify might affect your credit score, it’s best to speak with a financial advisor or consultant.
