Can I sell Fortnite in-game items on Shopify?

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

Whether selling in-game items for Fortnite, Rainbow Six Siege, Overwatch, and Dead by Daylight on Shopify is allowed depends on authorization and policy compliance, not a blanket approval.

  • Shopify staff point to the Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy and note they cannot provide legal advice.
  • You must have the legal right to sell third‑party branded items; this may require a reseller license and meeting any publisher/manufacturer requirements. Contact rights holders directly.
  • Shopify does allow digital products/services (e.g., downloadable files, license keys). There is no blanket ban on digital goods, but all sales must comply with Shopify’s policies.
  • Recommended actions: review Shopify’s ToS/AUP, secure necessary permissions/licenses, and consult a legal expert or business advisor before launching.
  • One reply appears promotional and does not address the policy question.

Status: No definitive yes/no answer; selling is only permissible if you obtain proper rights and comply with all applicable policies and legal requirements.

Hi, @FastmOcean !

Thank you for sharing your question with our network.

While our Support team is unable to provide legal advice I can certainly point you in the right direction with your questions. I encourage you to review both our Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy.

In general you are required to have the selling rights to any items you are selling from a different manufacturer or supplier. When products are branded under a company you do not own, you will need to ensure you have the correct re-seller license and meet any other legal requirements. Many companies may have other requirements or stipulations for wholesale contracts, so it’s also a good idea to connect with the manufacturer directly.

This will be solely your responsibility, therefore, it’s always a good idea to consult a legal expert or business consultant before opening your venture.

I trust that provides the guidance you need,
