Purpose of collecting information
Shopify in njegovi bančni partnerji morajo v skladu s predpisi na Malti, namenjenimi preprečevanju finančnega kriminala, zbrati in preveriti podatke o vas in vašem podjetju. Ker se lokalna pravila in predpisi spreminjajo, vas lahko Shopify in njegovi bančni partnerji v času trajanja vašega računa Shopify Payments prosijo za dodatne informacije.
The information that's collected is used to confirm the identity of the business, the identities of individuals linked to the business, and the nature of the relationship between the two.
Shopify vam dokumentacije nikoli ne pošilja po pošti. Vsi pomembni dokumenti ali sporočila so poslani po e-pošti ali pa so lastniku trgovine na voljo v digitalni obliki na strani Nastavitve > Uporabniki v skrbniku Shopify.
Preberite Pravilnik o zasebnosti za Shopify, da izveste, kako se zagotavljata zaupnost in varnost vaših podatkov.

- Clarity and legibility: Make sure that your documents are clear and large enough to read. Ensure the entire document is visible in the photograph.

- Original documentation: Take an original photograph of your document using a camera. Don't photocopy, scan, or screenshot your documents. Don't paste photos of documents into other documents. Don't take photos of computer screens or printouts.
- If your document was issued to you digitally, then provide the PDF file with all pages as it was originally given to you, with no alterations.

Troubleshooting common issues
Before contacting Shopify Support, review the following common onboarding issues and their solutions.
Imam partnerstvo na Malti in od mene zahtevajo registrsko številko podjetja, vendar je nimam.
If you're a partnership in Malta being asked for a company registration number, but you don't have one, then you're set up as the incorrect business type. If you're in the process of setting up your Shopify Payments account, then update the business type to unincorporated partnership.
Če ste že nastavili račun in v sklopu postopka preverjanja od vas zahtevamo matično številko podjetja, lahko posodobite vrsto podjetja tako, da odprete Nastavitve > Splošno. Kliknite tri pike poleg podrobnosti podjetja in nato kliknite Uredi. Če imate težave s posodabljanjem vrste podjetja, za pomoč stopite v stik s podporo za Shopify.
Nimam registrske številke podjetja na Malti in nisem posameznik ali samostojni podjetnik.
Če nimate matične številke podjetja, lahko kot vrsto podjetja izberete samo neinkorporirano partnerstvo ali neinkorporirano neprofitno organizacijo. Kljub temu morate predložiti dokumentacijo, ki dokazuje, da je vaše podjetje registrirano kot navedena vrsta podjetja na Malti.
If neither of these business types fits your business, then you should select Individual / Sole trader and assign a key decision maker or owner as the account representative.
Moj dokument je bil zavrnjen.
Prepričajte se, da se podatki v vašem računu natančno ujemajo z vašim dokumentom, in po potrebi posodobite račun. Če so vaši dokumenti še vedno zavrnjeni, si oglejte naslednje razdelke na tej strani:
- Sprejemljive vrste dokumentov: Sprejeti dokumenti in zahtevani podatki. Posnetki zaslona, izpisi in posnetki zaslona registra niso sprejeti.
- Zagotavljanje skladnosti dokumentacije: Zahteve glede točnosti, jasnosti, popolnosti in veljavnosti.
Mojega naslova ni mogoče samodejno preveriti.
Če za Shopify Payments Malta vašega naslova ni mogoče preveriti samodejno, boste morali dokončati postopek s selfijem ali predložiti dokazilo o naslovu.
Priporočamo, da dokončate postopek s selfijem. Posameznik, ki ga je treba preveriti, lahko za preverjanje klikne gumb Selfi in nato fotografira svoj osebni dokument s fotografijo ter sebe. Postopek s selfijem lahko dokončate namesto predložitve dokazila o naslovu.
Če želite raje ročno predložiti dokument, lahko to storite namesto tega. Dokumenti z dokazilom o naslovu morajo vsebovati vaše polno ime in domači naslov. Prepričajte se tudi o naslednjem:
- Ime in naslov na dokumentu se popolnoma ujemata z imenom in naslovom, navedenima v vašem računu Shopify Payments.
- Dokument je bil izdan v zadnjih 6 mesecih.
- Dokument je ena od sprejetih vrst dokumentov o naslovu.
Predložiti morate dokument, ki prikazuje vaše ime. Na primer: če na računih za komunalne storitve ni vašega imena, morate izbrati in predložiti drug dokument s seznama možnosti.
Podatkov o mojih lastnikih ni mogoče preveriti.
Za Shopify Payments Malta morate vnesti svoje lastnike, tako da se navedena imena ujemajo z lastniki vašega podjetja v državnem poslovnem registru. Priporočamo, da poiščete podatke o lastnikih v registru in vnesete imena točno tako, kot so tam prikazana. Če podjetje nima lastnikov, morate v računu namesto tega navesti vse svoje direktorje.
Če ste to storili in vašega lastništva ali direktorstva še vedno ni mogoče preveriti, priporočamo, da kliknete gumb Podpiši na strani za preverjanje, da digitalno potrdite pravilnost navedenih podatkov.
Če želite, lahko namesto postopka potrjevanja predložite dokument, ki potrjuje vaše lastnike ali direktorje. Podatki o lastniku in direktorju, ki jih vnesete v svoj račun Shopify Payments, se morajo ujemati s podatki na dokumentaciji, ki jo naložite. Če je lastnik ali direktor naveden v vaši dokumentaciji, ni pa dodan v vaš račun Shopify Payments, ga morate dodati v račun in mu dodeliti vlogo lastnika ali direktorja. Seznam vrst dokumentov, ki jih lahko predložite za preverjanje lastništva, je na voljo tukaj.
Prepričajte se, da se lastniki in direktorji v vašem računu popolnoma ujemajo z vašo dokumentacijo. Ne navajajte dodatnih lastnikov ali direktorjev, ki niso prikazani na vaših dokumentih.
Mojih podatkov o podjetju ni mogoče preveriti.
Bančni partnerji podjetja Shopify preverijo vaše podatke o podjetju s primerjavo z vladnimi registri na Malti. Če vašega podjetja ni mogoče preveriti, preverite naslednje podatke:
- Prepričajte se, da se vaše registrirano ime podjetja natančno ujema s tistim v vladnih registrih podjetij, vključno z velikimi in malimi črkami, ločili ter simboli.
- Prepričajte se, da je vaša registrska številka podjetja pravilna.
- Prepričajte se, da se vaš poslovni naslov ujema z naslovom v vladnem registru podjetij.
Če vaših podatkov še vedno ni mogoče preveriti, boste morda morali predložiti dokument za preverjanje podjetja. Prepričajte se, da se podatki na vašem dokumentu ujemajo s tistimi, ki ste jih vnesli v svoj račun Shopify Payments.
Frequently asked questions
Review the following frequently asked questions about Shopify Payments requirements in Malta.
Why do you need my photo ID or proof of address if I'm a company, partnership, or non-profit in Malta?
Even if you're registered as a company, partnership, or non-profit, Shopify banking partners are required by regulations in Malta to verify the identity and location of each person associated with the business.
I'm a citizen of Malta but don't currently live there. Can I use Shopify Payments Malta?
If your business type is individual / sole trader, then you're required to live in Malta to be eligible for Shopify Payments Malta. If you don't currently live in Malta, then you should instead create a Shopify Payments account for the region you do live in.
Update your store address to your current location. If your location is eligible for Shopify Payments, then you can create a Shopify Payments account for that region instead.
If you're a type of partnership, company, or non-profit, then you're not required to personally live in Malta, but your business is required to be registered there and have a Maltese business address. If you need help, then contact Shopify Support.
I'm a sole trader in Malta. How do I enter my business information and company registration number?
For the purposes of business and identity verification in Malta, only the personal information of the owner is required if you're a sole trader. Select the Individual / Sole trader business type accordingly.
If you're a sole trader, then don't attempt to sign up as a different business type. You might have difficulty passing verification.
I'm a publicly traded company in Malta. Which business type should I pick?
Izberite Družba z omejeno odgovornostjo. Za namene preverjanja podjetja in identitete je postopek za javna in zasebna podjetja enak. Lahko preskočite razdelek obrazca za nastavitev računa, ki zahteva, da dodate lastnike. Ni vam treba navesti nobenih materialnih porabnikov, če jih nimate.
Če ste javna delniška družba na Malti in ste že nastavili račun Shopify Payments, zdaj pa od vas v sklopu postopka preverjanja zahtevamo podatke o lastništvu, posodobite svoje podatke o lastništvu, da odražajo stanje brez lastnikov. Odstranite vlogo Lastnik pri vseh osebah v evidenci ter se namesto tega prepričajte, da so vsi vaši direktorji navedeni v računu in imajo dodeljeno vlogo Direktor.
Morda boste morali potrditi, da je navedeno direktorstvo pravilno. Če lahko potrdite pravilnost, kliknite gumb Podpiši, da digitalno potrdite podatke v evidenci.
Če imate težave s tem postopkom, za pomoč stopite v stik s podporo za Shopify.
Kako posodobim podatke o svojem računu Shopify Payments?
Če ste pozvani k preverjanju računa, lahko posodobite svoje podatke in predložite vse zahtevane dokumente neposredno na strani za preverjanje.
Zunaj postopka preverjanja lahko lastnik trgovine te podatke posodobi v razdelku Nastavitve > Splošno > Podatki o podjetju. Kliknite tri pike ob svojem poslovnem subjektu in nato kliknite Uredi, da posodobite podatke podjetja, vključno z vrsto podjetja.
Upoštevajte, da se vse spremembe, ki jih vnesete tukaj, samodejno pošljejo našim bančnim partnerjem v pregled in da gredo novi podatki ponovno skozi njihov postopek preverjanja. Možno je, da se spremembe samodejno potrdijo, lahko pa boste pozvani k predložitvi dokazil.
Kaj se zgodi, če zamudim rok za preverjanje?
Vaša izplačila bodo začasno zaustavljena do zaključka postopka preverjanja. Po izteku prvega roka in začasni zaustavitvi izplačil se lahko prikaže drugi rok, ki označuje, kdaj bo začasno zaustavljeno sprejemanje naročil prek storitve Shopify Payments.
Vse te zaustavitve so začasne in se samodejno prekličejo, ko dokončate preverjanje. Svoje roke lahko preverite na skrbniški plošči.
Od junija 2026 imajo popolnoma novi računi Shopify Payments na Malti na voljo 90 dni od obdelave prvega naročila, da dokončajo preverjanje. Če ta rok preteče, bodo vsa naročila, ki ste jih obdelali s storitvijo Shopify Payments, morda samodejno povrnjena.
Ta pravilnik o vračilih velja samo za evropske države in samo za popolnoma nove račune, ustvarjene junija 2026 ali pozneje. Če ta pravilnik o vračilih velja za vas, bo lastnik trgovine prejel opozorila o tem, kdaj lahko pričakuje obdelavo povračil.
