Credit Card payments Tobacco

[stefan8651]

Hello,

is shopify payments supporting the sale of Tobacco (cigars). In other words: Can we use the shopify merchant to charge clients for tobacco (cigar) products. Our companies are based in Liechtenstein or Cyprus. In both countries it is completly legal to sell tobacco. We have the lisence as well. 

We need a clear answer because this will be fundamental decision to use Shopify for our webshop.

Thanks.

Stefan

Hi @stefan8651 !

Shopify payments does not support high-risk products such as Tobaccos. Though, you can still sell in Shopify by using other payment gateways that support high-risk products such as Authorize.net, Stripe, and 2checkout.

Thank you. This means we have to pay an extra high percentage for shopify plus an external merchant. Basically, Shopify punish someone by not using the shopify merchant but at the same time, shopify does not allow it. 

Yes, stripe does not allow it either.
