Virtual office & GST for Shopify sellers

Everything Shopify sellers need to register GST the right way — with a verified virtual office address and APOB for fulfilment.

By the Launch My Office team · Updated 2026-06-22 · 6 min read

Selling on your own Shopify store means meeting GST requirements like any other marketplace. The two questions that matter most: which state(s) do you register in, and how do you handle stock storage? Here's the playbook.

Do Shopify sellers need GST?

Running a Shopify store doesn't exempt you from GST. Once you cross the turnover threshold — or from the start if you wish to claim input credit and look credible — you register GST. Where you store stock decides whether you need more than one GSTIN.

Why Shopify sellers use a virtual office

The setup, step by step

  1. Decide which states you need using the Multi-state GST Checker.
  2. Get a VPOB address in each state and register the GSTIN.
  3. Add any warehouse or fulfilment centre as an APOB.
  4. List on Shopify and start selling compliantly.
You don't need to rent an office in any state. A VPOB provides the compliant address; the warehouse is your APOB. Most plans deliver the document pack the same business day.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need GST to sell on Shopify?

If your turnover crosses the threshold you must register; many D2C brands register early to claim input tax credit and build trust. Storage location drives multi-state needs.

Can I use a virtual office for Shopify GST registration?

Yes. A virtual office (VPOB) is valid for GST when backed by a notarised NOC, registered rent agreement and matching utility bill. Add your fulfilment centre as an APOB.

How many GST registrations do Shopify sellers need?

It depends on where your stock is stored. Self-ship usually needs one (home state); multi-state fulfilment needs one per storage state. Check with our Multi-state GST Checker.
