Hello! My questions to everyone are:
-When creating a shopify store for like replica products (parfumes, bags, clothing) do i need to not touch the store for like 30 days before getting started to sell? When to activate Klarna for eu markets?
- Could I be able to evade some of the bans? I have been making the same thing in the past year but something i receive payouts frozen (duable to unlock) and other times i got my account banned
-Should i use other type of payments gateaways? If so which one?
-In my case of products i sell could be the case to switch to WooCommerce/Wordpress/Wix?

Thanks everybody that can help me! Im in EU market btw

The problem isn’t Shopify or Klarna it’s the product category. Replicas violate card network and platform rules, so bans aren’t random, they’re expected. Waiting 30 days or switching platforms doesn’t change how payments are underwritten. If the business model stays the same, the payment risk follows you everywhere.

so how do resolve this? i know someone that do even no ship and doesnt get banned for example
 
Hi. I’ve been selling counterfeit items on Shopify for a year. Will Shopify shut down my store, and how long do these stores usually last? Mine was banned in two days, but I’ve seen others selling fakes that stayed up for months.
 
Shopify's fraud detection has tightened significantly; even waiting 30 days may not prevent bans for replicas. Klarna will likely reject your store upon manual review if products are replicas. Use high-risk payment gateways like PaymentCloud or Durango, but expect higher fees and reserves. Consider WooCommerce with a specialized high-risk host for more control, but the core issue (selling replicas) remains a high-risk violation across all platforms.
 
Don't get banned from shopify! there is a world of legit products out there, no need to noob it and sell cheap knock offs from China, and other related scam countries. There are many western companies that shopify will happily work with, that ship worldwide for merch. You can also tap into many ecommerce platforms and get their supplier price and product details via an api.

TLDR

Why would you ruin your chances on the number 1 selling platform shopify by selling replicas?
 
Could you provide some payment gateaways for replicas or digital goods? Im in a loophole and wasted a lot of money
 
Shopify's fraud detection got way tighter in Q4. You need pristine accounts, aged payment methods, and better cloaking now.
could you give me some advice? i can offer you something that probably you dont have write me a DM thank you i appreciate a lot.

PS
I forgot to tell you that im already speaking with the other people for a cloaking work

thats what im saying probably using cloaking and rely on 3rd party processors

So better not to active Klarna till approve of the payouts?
 
Selling replicas on Shopify is high-risk—no need to wait 30 days, but bans are common. Use multiple EU payment gateways (Stripe, Mollie), or consider WooCommerce/Wix for more control, though legal risk stays.

Cant use Mollie or Stripe to be verified i need cloaking. Plus no ship is a no go for most of the payments gateaways.
 
Yo bro could u help me too i did bh and no ship too but now im getting stuck with tiktok ads and shopify
I ended up switching from shopify to wordpress and used a service provider that offers the emi + cc processors registered under the same company name. it includes the whitehat site for cloaking too. Using a payment orchestrator to route payments through multiple processors has been working good for me.
 
Regarding Klarna for EU markets, it’s a great option for buy-now-pay-later services, and you can activate Klarna as soon as your store is ready to handle payments, especially if you’re targeting customers in the EU.
 
Most of the challenges you’re facing are typically related to platform and payment provider policies. It’s best to focus on operating within their guidelines, especially in EU markets, to avoid holds or bans. Building a compliant and stable setup from the start usually leads to better long-term results.
