E-commerce Sellers: Multi-Store Management
Run multiple Shopify stores, Amazon seller accounts, or dropshipping operations without bans or account linking. Manage SMS verification, mobile proxies, and global eSIMs from one unified dashboard.
Educational Resource: This guide explains technical infrastructure for multi-store management. You are responsible for ensuring your use complies with applicable platform terms of service. VoidMob provides infrastructure services - we do not advise or encourage violations of platform policies.
The Challenge: Platform Restrictions & Account Bans
Scaling an e-commerce business often requires multiple stores or seller accounts. But platforms actively prevent this:
Account Linking Detection
Shopify, Amazon, eBay track IP addresses, phone numbers, payment methods, and device fingerprints. Shared information = linked accounts = instant suspension.
Phone Verification Required
Each store needs SMS verification. VoIP numbers (Google Voice, TextNow) get rejected. You need real phone numbers but can't use your personal number repeatedly.
IP Address Tracking
Accessing multiple stores from the same IP triggers red flags. Home IP gets associated with all accounts. One violation = all accounts at risk.
International Limitations
Selling internationally requires local presence for some platforms. Need local phone numbers and IPs for certain markets. Managing this manually is chaos.
The result? Sellers stuck with 1-2 stores max, unable to scale. Or worse - mass account suspensions destroying months of work.

Step-by-Step: Setting Up Your First 3 Stores
Plan Your Store Architecture
Decide platform mix (Shopify, Amazon, eBay), product niches, and target markets. Each store needs completely separate identity - unique business name, address, bank account, phone number, email, and IP address.
Pro tip: Use different LLCs or business entities for each store if serious about scaling. This provides legal separation in addition to technical separation.
Purchase Non-VoIP Numbers
Get 3 non-VoIP phone numbers from VoidMob - one per store. Choose numbers from countries matching your target market. Never reuse the same number across stores, platforms will detect and link accounts.
Pro tip: Get backup numbers too. If a store gets suspended, you can create a new one immediately with a fresh number.
Configure Dedicated Proxies
Assign one mobile proxy to each store. This is critical - sharing IPs is the #1 cause of account linking. Set up your proxy manager to automatically route each store through its dedicated IP. Use sticky sessions to maintain the same IP during browsing sessions.
Pro tip: Choose proxy locations matching your store's registered business address for maximum authenticity.
Create Store Accounts
Set up each store using its unique phone number, email, payment method, and dedicated proxy. Use antidetect browsers (Multilogin, AdsPower) to provide device isolation. Fill out all business information completely and accurately.
Pro tip: Create accounts over 2-3 days, not all at once for natural business establishment.
Maintain Strict Separation
Always access each store through its dedicated proxy. Never log into multiple stores from the same browser session. Keep products, suppliers, and business operations completely separate. Avoid identical product descriptions, images, or supplier information across stores.
Pro tip: Use VoidMob unified dashboard to manage all your services (SMS, proxies, eSIM) in one place while maintaining store separation.
Platform-Specific Guidelines
Shopify
- •Allows multiple stores - Officially permitted but must use different business info
- •Non-VoIP required for SMS - Verification at signup and occasionally during operation
- •Dedicated IP recommended - While not strictly required, prevents cross-store issues
- •Separate payment processors - Use different Stripe/PayPal accounts per store
Amazon Seller
- •Requires approval for multiple accounts - Must have legitimate business reasons and proper authorization
- •Aggressive linking detection - Tracks IP, phone, bank, address, email, device fingerprints
- •Dedicated proxies essential - Mobile proxies preferred, never share between accounts
- •Complete separation required - Different everything - names, addresses, banks, products
eBay
- •Allows multiple accounts - But each needs legitimate business purpose
- •Phone verification required - Non-VoIP strongly recommended for reliability
- •Moderate IP tracking - Less strict than Amazon but still monitors patterns
- •PayPal linking important - Use separate PayPal accounts per eBay account
Facebook Marketplace / Etsy
- •Facebook: One per personal profile - But can have business accounts too
- •Etsy: Multiple shops allowed - Must use different payment methods
- •VoIP often blocked - Non-VoIP numbers recommended for both
- •Mobile proxies helpful - Especially for Facebook to avoid restrictions
Cost Breakdown: Running 3 Stores
| Service | Cost | Details |
|---|---|---|
| 3 Non-VoIP Numbers | $3-15 | One-time verification + monthly maintenance |
| 3 Dedicated Mobile Proxies | $15-30/month | One proxy per store, never share |
| Optional: International eSIM | $10-20/month | For stores targeting specific countries |
| VoidMob Dashboard Access | Included | Manage all services in one place |
| Total Monthly Cost | $18-50/mo | 3 completely separated stores |
ROI Perspective: If each store generates $2,000-5,000/month revenue, your $20-50 infrastructure cost is 1% or less. The ability to scale to 3-10 stores safely can 3-10x your revenue. Compare this to the cost of one account suspension wiping out months of inventory and sales history.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it legal to run multiple e-commerce stores?
Running multiple businesses is legal. However, platform policies vary significantly. Shopify and eBay explicitly allow multiple stores. Amazon typically requires approval for multiple seller accounts. You are responsible for understanding and complying with each platform's terms of service. VoidMob provides infrastructure tools - our content is educational and we do not advise violating platform policies. Always ensure your use case is compliant with applicable rules.
Will platforms detect that I'm using proxies?
Mobile proxies from VoidMob use real 4G/5G residential IPs that appear as legitimate mobile users. These are real mobile carrier IPs, not datacenter proxies. This provides authentic mobile connectivity that platforms treat as regular mobile traffic.
Can I use the same bank account for multiple stores?
Not recommended for serious separation. Platforms like Amazon track payment methods and will link accounts using the same bank. For Shopify, it's less strict but still risky. Use different business bank accounts or payment processors (Stripe accounts, PayPal accounts) for each store for maximum safety.
What happens if one store gets suspended?
With proper separation using VoidMob (unique phone numbers, dedicated proxies), your other stores remain safe. The suspension is isolated to that one account. This is the key benefit of proper infrastructure - one failure doesn't cascade to all stores. Without separation, one suspension often triggers review of all linked accounts.
How many stores can I realistically manage?
With VoidMob's unified dashboard, you can technically manage 10+ stores. Practically, it depends on your operation size. 3-5 stores is manageable for solo sellers. 10+ requires team/VA support. The infrastructure (SMS, proxies, eSIM) scales easily - the limitation becomes operational management, not technical capability.
Do I need antidetect browsers in addition to proxies?
Yes, highly recommended. Proxies change your IP address but platforms also track device fingerprints (canvas, WebGL, fonts, screen resolution, etc.). Antidetect browsers create unique fingerprints per store profile, preventing device-based linking. Use tools like Multilogin, AdsPower, or GoLogin alongside VoidMob services.
