Effective immediately, Shopify will ban ALL vape products from its platform.
This isn’t just about illegal vapes – the ban applies to ALL vape stores regardless of FDA authorization. If you’re selling on Shopify, your store could be shut down any day now.
Why This is Happening
- A coalition of 25 state attorneys general pressured Shopify to act.
- The illegal vape market is worth $9 billion in the U.S.
- Mastercard is also cracking down on unlicensed vape sales
- Shopify’s response? “We adjust our enforcement approach when legal changes call for it”
The message is clear: E-commerce platforms are no longer safe for vape businesses.
