I plan to sell physical copy video games on my Shopify store, but before buying inventory, I wanted to know if there are any legal requirements for selling video games? By this, I mean if I’m going need to obtain rights or permissions from game companies before selling their games on my Shopify store? For example, if I were to sell Call of Duty games on my Shopify store, would I need rights or permissions from Activision? Or if I were to sell Assassins’ Creed games would I need rights or permissions from Ubisoft?
That is a great question! Also, a great niche to start with!
It’s alright to sell physical copies of video games on Shopify, but you’ll typically need to be an authorised reseller fortrademarked items.
The brands you mentioned may have requirements and terms for one to become a reseller. They usually specify the terms in their Terms of Service. However, to protect your business long-term in any situation with third parties and mediators, it is always best to contact those brands directly to clarify their terms.
Most brands will provide you with a catalogue of products and even images representing their products true to their brand. You may even get an “authorised dealer” image to put on your store.
There is an excellent guide on starting a reseller business that I wanted to share with you. You can check it out on this link.
I hope this helps! Feel free to reach out if you have any further questions.
When you’re dealing with resale rights and permissions for video games, it’s important to check the end-user license agreement (EULA) of the game in question. Publishers often include specific clauses regarding resale and distribution. For services or platforms that offer the ability to buy or trade game items, they often have partnerships or systems that comply with these legal considerations.
