You may not use the Shopify Services to offer, sell, or facilitate the sale of any product, service, or content that: is illegal or facilitates illegal activity; is listed in Shopify's list of prohibited items.
Merchants who unknowingly list prohibited products risk immediate account suspension and potential loss of access to their store and funds.
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.
