Hello! I’m looking at my options to launch a store that sells collectible photographs of nude women in provocative, sometimes pronographic poses.
I understand that I can’t use Shopify payments as they don’t allow any adult content and that I would have to use paypal to process payments, but can my store still exist within the TOS of Shopify to build the actual website or is it still not allowed?
Thank you for your help!
Better use any other platform as you never know any update would come about content any time after you make the website too
Hi, @kam5150 .
Thanks for reaching out in our Community Forums about this.
As much as I’d like to assist you with this query, Shopify is unable to provide advice as to what merchants can or cannot sell on our platform. Questions like these are nuanced, context-specific, and involve a complex legal landscape.
So from here, you’ll need to review our policies with guidance from a local legal expert. Feel free to take both our Terms of Service and our Acceptable Use Policy along with you when you consult with an expert, so that they can use these documents to guide you and to ensure that you comply with the statements in those documents. They’ll also be able to help verify that your store will comply with all applicable laws in your jurisdiction, as well as your customers’ jurisdictions (where you wish to ship your products to).
