Vape & e-cigarettes
Shopify shut down your vape store. Get back online on WooCommerce in 7 days.
On WooCommerce you own the storefront, so no policy change can take it down. We handle the parts that make vape retail different: high-risk payments, 21+ age verification, and PACT Act shipping.
FDA PMTA authorizations and the AG coalition, 2025 to 2026. See the vape ban hub for sources.
Payments
A gateway that will not freeze on your first nicotine sale.
Stripe and PayPal do not serve nicotine. We connect you to high-risk processors built for vape, all with WooCommerce integrations. Expect rolling reserves and age verification at checkout as standard.
NMI
Established high-risk gateway with multiple WooCommerce plugins.
Corepay
High-risk acquirer for vape and CBD, direct WooCommerce integration.
PayKings
Vape merchant accounts via NMI or Authorize.Net.
SecureGlobalPay
Vape and tobacco WooCommerce high-risk accounts.
Compliance built in
Age gates and PACT Act shipping, handled on your own stack.
WooCommerce plus the right plugins covers what vape retail legally requires, and you control every setting.
21+ age verification
AgeChecker.net, BlueCheck, and AgeChecked verify most customers instantly with an ID-upload fallback, configurable by product and state. A front-of-site gate plus checkout ID check.
PACT Act shipping
USPS, UPS, FedEx, and DHL all refuse consumer vape parcels. We set you up with adult-signature vape-mail carriers, federal and state registration, and monthly PACT reporting.
Merchandising for vape
Variable products for nicotine strength, flavour, and coil resistance, subscriptions for e-liquid reorders, and bundles for starter kits.
AgeChecker.net and BlueCheck WooCommerce plugins; USPS ENDS delivery ban (Oct 2021) and PACT Act carrier restrictions.
Questions vape owners ask
Straight answers.
Can I appeal Shopify’s decision instead of moving?
You can file an appeal, but with only around 45 FDA-authorized ENDS products nationwide, almost all tobacco or menthol, most flavoured-vape sellers cannot demonstrate compliance. This is a category-wide policy exit, not a per-store dispute, so appeals are effectively hopeless. Spend the energy on the export and the move.
Will my customers know where I went?
Yes. We 301 redirect your old Shopify URLs to the new store, so search results and bookmarks still land customers on your products rather than a dead page. We also help you email your list before checkout breaks.
What about my subscriptions and reorders?
WooCommerce Subscriptions rebuilds recurring e-liquid and pod orders. We migrate your customer list so you can re-establish them on the new stack.
