Hi @Vinay9,

Hyde here from Shopify. Welcome to the platform!

While I do not want to discourage you from pursuing your entrepreneurial goals, I want to highlight that setting up a Pharmacy online is a nuanced and context-specific issue, with a complex legal landscape in many areas. So before you embark on trying to create an online pharmacy, I would suggest that you and/or your legal team review our acceptable usage policy.

It is also important that you review Section 8 of the AUP which clearly states:

"You may not use the Services to collect, store, or process any protected health information subject to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”), any applicable health privacy regulation or any other applicable law governing the processing, use, or disclosure of protected health information."

I hope this helps!

All the best, Hyde.

To add to what Andrew has posted: Shopify can be made a part of a HIPAA-compliant solution.

We've done it successfully for pharmaceutical companies, lab testing companies and general site that sell medical products that have a prescription component. (e.g. eyeglasses).

Happy to discuss with anyone reading this thread on how we can help.
