GatewayReady
Four documents. One company. Four different names.
For non-US residents whose Shopify Payments or third-party gateway application was rejected, declined, or is sitting in verification review — usually with a US LLC and an EIN, but no SSN.
| Source document | Legal name as printed |
|---|---|
| Formation certificate | Gateway Ready LLC |
| EIN letter (CP 575) | GATEWAY READY LLC |
| Bank account holder | Gateway Ready, L.L.C. |
| Shopify business profile | Gateway Ready |
To you these are the same company. To an automated beneficiary check they are four strings that do not match — and that is what gets held, not your country and not your missing SSN.
In about two and a half hours you end up with one locked reference sheet, every document reading the same way, and a reapplication you can send without guessing which field tripped it — instead of another decline you cannot explain.
The kit is the procedure for fixing that
Five files, 30 pages, about 2 hours 35 minutes of work end to end. Self-serve — nobody reviews your documents and no account access is requested.
Eligibility & consistency record 14 sections
Every answer written down once, so it stops shifting between screens. Fill-in fields for legal name, the four address types, owners, and activity.
Identity unification SOP 4 phases
Which document to correct at the issuer, which field to reword, and the order to do it in — plus a terminology page and a "when to escalate" rule.
Gateway comparison worksheet 6 decision questions
Non-negotiable requirements, real eligibility per processor, the full money path to your bank, fee timing, and the conflicts between your Shopify settings and the gateway.
Pre- and post-charge checklist 27 tick items
What to confirm before the first real charge, and what to watch after it clears.
Ready-to-send scripts 6 scenarios
Pinning down what's actually needed before you send anything · explaining the source of the first transaction · clarifying residence and place of management · submitting documents · correcting something you sent wrong · chasing settlement after verification clears.
Before you buy anything, run the free check
It compares your legal name, addresses, EIN letter and bank account holder in your own browser. Nothing is uploaded, stored, or sent anywhere, and it asks for no email.
If it finds no mismatch, don't buy the kit. Your problem is somewhere else and the kit won't help you.
Straight answer on the price
None of the facts in this kit are secret. Shopify's requirements page is free, and so are most of the blog posts. What you are paying for is the order to do things in, the exact fields reviewers cross-check, and wording you can send without drafting it yourself.
If you would rather assemble that from forum threads over a weekend — genuinely, do that instead. It works.
No code to enter. It returns to $47 when the launch window closes.
Instant download. Both stores deliver the same five files.
30-day refund, no questions. Buy it, read all of it, and if it did not save you time, ask for a refund within 30 days — and you keep the files either way.
Questions people actually ask
- My application was already declined. Is it too late?
- No. A decline is not a permanent ban in most cases — you reapply once the underlying data is consistent. What does hurt you is reapplying with the same mismatched details, because that is the thing being checked again.
- I don't have an SSN or an ITIN. Does that disqualify me?
- Not on its own. A US LLC with an EIN can be verified through the entity rather than a personal SSN. The kit covers what the entity path needs in place, and File 03 shows which processors accept it.
- Isn't all of this free online?
- The facts are, and the page says so plainly. What you are buying is the order to do things in, the exact fields reviewers cross-check, and wording you can send without drafting it. If you would rather assemble that yourself over a weekend, do that.
- Will this get me approved?
- No one can honestly promise that, and anyone who does is selling you something else. The kit removes the failure cause you control — your own data contradicting itself. It cannot change a policy decision about your country or your product category.
- Do I have to give you access to anything?
- No. There is no account access, no document review, no onboarding call. You get five files and do the work yourself.
- What if it doesn't help me?
- Message me within 30 days and I refund you. No form and no questions, and you keep the files either way.
What this is not
- It does not guarantee that Shopify, Stripe or any gateway approves you. Nobody can honestly promise that.
- It does not create a fake business presence, and it will not help you claim a US presence you do not have.
- It is not a service. No one looks at your documents; you do the work with the files.
- It does not ask for access to your store, your bank, or any account.
