DO YOU HAVE TO OWN A BUSINESS TO SALE ON BONANZA? EVERYTIME I TRY TO OPEN MY BOOTH IT SAYS I NEED A PAYPAL OR AMAZON PAY…I DONT MESS WITH PAYPAL SO I TRIED SIGNING UP FOR AMAZON PAY AND IT KEEPS ASKING FOR BUSINESS AND TAX INFO. WTF
Anyone can use PayPal without having an actual business so that is the easiest one to use. It may be that in order to sell through Amazon or use that payment processor a business tax id number is required. PayPal has no such requirements. Not sure why you don’t like PayPal but at this time it is likely your only option here because Bonanza does not have direct checkout set up, unfortunately.

Amazon Pay requires some sort of TaxID number…it can be a registered business number from your state or it can be your SSN…
This is not a bonanza requirement

For Amazon Pay, check the box for “sole proprietor” and enter your social security number for your Tax ID number. If you go over 20k in sales AND 200 transactions in a year they will issue you a 1099 and send it to the IRS.
For Amazon make sure you’re on your booth page and not your seller dashboard page or Amazon won’t accept the link for your store. Good luck!

Most of the time it asks for an EIN. This is an employer tax number even if you have NO employees. It is free to apply for.

Should I post a comment or an answer?
You can only post one answer, so make it count. Maybe your reply is more fitting as a comment instead?

- Replies that directly and specifically answer the original question
Post a comment for:
- "Thanks," "Me too," "I agree," or "Works for me" types of replies
- When you would like the original poster to provide more details
- When you have more to add to someone else's question or answer
