A local business license is required to open a Douyin store. Generally, a business license can be for an individual business owner or an enterprise/company. An individual cannot open a Douyin store without a business license.

If you do not have a business license, you can use the following two methods to solve the problem:

1. If you are an individual, you can go to the local industrial and commercial department to apply for a business license for an individual business owner. After the application is completed, you can apply for it, upload a photo of the business license, and fill in the relevant information;

2. If you want to sell goods on Douyin, you can also apply for "product sharing permissions" to promote products on third-party platforms. In this way, you can also add product sharing in videos or live broadcasts, and creators will receive commission income.
