Merchants in the adult content space may be prohibited from using Shopify entirely or may require specific platform approval, limiting their channel options.
This policy primarily governs merchants using Shopify, but it also protects consumers who shop on Shopify-powered stores by prohibiting deceptive practices, counterfeit goods, and illegal services. Merchants found in violation can have their stores suspended or terminated, which may interrupt access to products or services consumers have paid for. If you believe a Shopify merchant is selling counterfeit or illegal products, you can report them via Shopify's Trust & Safety team at https://www.shopify.com/legal/report-abuse.
