Using Shopify Payment Gateway for vape products in Canada

[Willd99]

Just start using Shopify and I'm wondering if I could use Shopify Payment for vape products in Canada? I've read some articles/blogs that say they don't allow, but I can still see some stores using it.

And if it's not allowed, could you please suggest me with some other payment provider that allow?

Hi there, @Willd99.

Vaping (and vaping related products) are considered a prohibited business so they cannot be sold through the Shopify Payments gateway, as per the terms of service: 

You mentioned you are based in Canada, so I wanted to share this list of supported gateways for our Canadian merchants. 2Checkout in particular is commonly used for higher-risk items. It would be worth reaching out to this gateway's support team to ensure it meets all your requirements. I hope this helps!

Do you have any plans in place yet for Black Friday / Cyber Monday? Now is the time to prepare! We have a really excellent hub full of resources to get you ready for what could be your most profitable weekend of the year!
