June 30, 2021

If you sell products related to smoking, Shopify won't let you sell them. Not even products related to it, like pipes.


These are all the products not allowed on the platform.


1. Alcohol, alcoholic beverages


2. Tobacco and ****



3. cannabidiol

Although foreign experts say that the market for these products is predicted to be 2.5 billion dollars by 2022. Some countries also support this industry, but you can easily get your shop closed or your funds were frozen if you go into this.

5. Dangerous weapons


6. Solvents


This includes alcohol, gasoline, etc.


7. drugs


8. games, in-game currency, points, etc.


9. specific products in high demand

This is flexible, e.g. masks, disinfectants, etc.



In addition to this, Shopify prohibits the sale of these products


1. Infringing products

Although Shopify does not require sellers to have a brand, for branded products, if you are not authorized, directly in Shopify sales, once the relevant brand complaints, then it is possible to lead to the closure of the shop.


2, poor quality products

Do not think that Shopify does not care to control the seller's products, it is inferior to good, if the buyer complains about you because of the quality of the product, but also can lead to the shop is affected.


3、Firearms and ammunition

Now Shopify has also prohibited merchants from selling guns and ammunition, even if it is legal in the local area, it can not be done, otherwise it will be directly closed shop processing.


Although these products aren't illegal, if the agency finds them or it is reported by the community, your shop may be closed within a minute and unable to reopen. Soo we must pay attention not to have a fluke, to comply with the business.
