Hi everyone, I want to know if I can start an unregistered general dropshipping store or business on Shopify, or do I have to register a company in order to start?

You can create a Shopify dropshipping store without registering the business. However, as the business grows, you will need to check the tax and business laws that apply to your country.
A reason to register the business is that payment providers usually require businesses to be registered before you use them.
I came across a helpful article on how to set up dropshipping on Shopify that I recommend you check out.

There is no harm in an unregistered business starting a Shopify dropshipping store. Shopify doesn't ask you to register your business to open a general dropshipping store on their site. All you need is a business license if you want to use Shopify payments.
So, if you already have an unregistered business running online, creating a Shopify store will extend your business reach. But as soon as your venture starts expanding and you need to process payments, you will need to register your dropshipping store. You may also need to register your business to get products from certain suppliers.

Using Shopify as a payment processor, for the mentioned cases, you will need a license though. You can find more info about how to get one in that article, about the prices and all the aspects that you need to know. Sometimes, it's very useful to get one just in any case, because you can sell everything on Shopify.
