You may not use Shopify Services to sell firearms, firearm parts or accessories, ammunition, or related products in violation of applicable law. Items such as 3D-printed firearms, solvent trap kits, and other products that may be used to manufacture untraceable firearms are prohibited.
This provision reflects Shopify's decision to restrict an entire product subcategory beyond what federal law strictly requires, creating significant risk for any merchant in the firearms accessories space who does not carefully audit their catalog.
Shopify's AUP primarily affects merchants who use the platform to run their businesses, as it defines the full scope of what can and cannot be sold — with violations potentially resulting in immediate store termination and loss of access to funds held in Shopify Payments. Consumers shopping on Shopify-powered stores benefit indirectly from these rules, which prohibit counterfeit goods, fraudulent schemes, and dangerous unregulated products. You can review the full list of prohibited and restricted product categories at shopify.com/legal/aup before building your store to ensure compliance.
