Ensuring that your store complies with Shopify's policies
At Shopify, we believe in making commerce better for everyone. To help with this mission, we provide you with information to help you make informed decisions about how you sell your products using our platform.
Your products and use of Shopify must adhere to Shopify’s Terms of Service. Other Shopify products, such as Shopify Payments, have additional terms. For example, if you use the following products, then you need to also follow their terms:
You also need to consider the implications of selling in different jurisdictions, including researching the relevant import and export laws and regulations, and knowing the current legal status of the products you sell in every region you sell them.
Shopify can set you up for success, but there are also steps that you need to take, especially if you plan to sell regulated products. The information found in this section is intended as a starting point to help you learn about selling products in certain regulated areas. If you have questions about which laws apply to you, or questions specific to your business, then you need to consult with a lawyer.
