Can you sell vapes on Shopify? No. As of June 24, 2026, the Shopify vape ban means merchants selling Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems, or ENDS, can no longer list those products on the platform.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Shopify sent notices to U.S. merchants requiring removal of every vape, e-liquid, vaporizer, and related accessory listing by July 7, 2026 UTC, or risk suspension.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Reuters<\/a> confirmed the policy on July 10, and merchants who hadn’t complied by the deadline are now facing product delisting, account restrictions, or full store termination.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you’re reading this because your store fell into that group, the priority is getting your data out and your storefront rebuilt somewhere that still allows the category.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Policy<\/p>\n

Shopify’s notice cited changes in legal restrictions on ENDS products as the reason it “no longer supports the sale of these products.” That single sentence covers e-cigarettes, e-liquids, vaporizers, replacement parts, and refills, regardless of nicotine content or FDA authorization status. In plain terms: whether you can still sell vapes on Shopify comes down to product category alone, not compliance history or authorization status.<\/span><\/p>\n
