Stores are getting a version of this notice in waves - each with its own removal deadline. If you sell vapes or ENDS on Shopify, yours is coming.
Hosted platforms, like Shopify, answer to payment processors and regulators. Vape brands are now moving to open source platforms they actually own and control. FirstX helps you choose the right one.
WordPress Open Source. You host it, you own it, you set the rules. No acceptable-use policy that can change overnight. This is the platform most vape brands choose.
Magento Open Source - self-hosted power for high volume catalogs, B2B and complex variants. This is the platform to choose if you have over 10,000 SKUs.
We export every product, variant, customer, order, subscription and review from Shopify before anything gets removed.
A pixel-perfect, faster store on WooCommerce or Magento - your brand, exactly as it was on Shopify.
Catalog, customers, order history, passwords and URLs move across. 301 redirects protect every SEO ranking.
We help to set up vape-friendly payment processors, age verification and shipping rules.
We have everything ready before the deadline. Your customers never even notice.
Most Shopify stores are held together by a dozen paid apps. Switching platforms means rebuilding that functionality - FirstX maps every app to a proven WooCommerce or Magento equivalent so nothing breaks.

Critical for vapes and ENDS - built in from day one
Vape-friendly gateways & processors
We've worked with U.S. vape brands for 5+ years.
We move stores in days, not months. Whatever date your notice sets, you'll be moved with time to spare.
Your Shopify store stays up and earning until the second we cut over to the new platform.
We speak the language of vape compliance, age gates and high-risk payment processors.
Open source ecommerce store you control. No platform can ever delist your industry again.
Yes. Shopify is ending support for the sale of Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems (ENDS) - e-cigarettes, e-liquids, vaporizers, pods and their parts and refills. The ban applies to ENDS products regardless of nicotine strength, and removal notices are going out to merchants in waves.
There is no single universal date. Shopify is notifying stores in waves and each notice carries its own removal deadline shown in your admin. If you sell ENDS on Shopify, assume yours is coming - the safe move is to migrate before your deadline lands rather than after.
Affected products are delisted and can be suspended. Because Shopify Payments, checkout and apps are tied to the store, your ability to sell stops, and your customer list and order history stay locked inside Shopify. Appeals are at Shopify's discretion and most vape and ENDS appeals fail.
A platform you own and that can't delist your industry. Most vape brands move to WooCommerce Open Source or Magento Open Source for larger catalogs. Because you self-host, no acceptable-use policy can change overnight and shut you down.
No. FirstX migrates everything 1:1 - products, variants, images, order history, reviews, coupons and CMS pages - and sets up 301 redirects so your search rankings are preserved.
No. Your Shopify store keeps selling right up until we cut over. Customers experience zero downtime.
Yes. We connect vape-friendly payment processors, add age verification and shipping rules, so you can just keep selling.
