Hello, i have a problem with shopify banning and freezing funds on my stores, my niche is high ticket digital products. My main traffic is tiktok ads, i can create a store and in the same day do like 2-5k$ in sales wich results in the store getting flagged and banned + funds frozen. Ive tried warming up the store brick by brick so stripe would not flag the store but i get banned for "unauthorized products". I had a ban history before and i know shopify is good at detecting previous banned merchants that try to use the platform again and ban them, but i am geniuenly looking for a solution so i can keep making money from this business, i already have 20k+ frozen for a year and im trying to find a solution, i heard that cloaking would work but i dont know how to do it, a step by step even paid tutorial how to do it would be useful if someone would recommend something like that.

YES cloaking works best and i can review your store, identify what Shopify is flagging, and suggest safer ways to scale without risking more bans or frozen funds if you don't mind
 
You mean you where using their payment processor for selling the products or you were using third party and were still got banned ?

I wonder in niches like peptide will shopify let it servive ?
Looking forward to someone's answer on it.

Why would you even stick with shopify for this?

Get Woocomerce and take direct bank account transfer.
 
shopify payments + high ticket digital + tiktok ads is a ticking time bomb.

once volume hits, ban + frozen funds becomes almost guaranteed. we stopped playing that game a while ago.

what finally held up was moving checkout completely off shopify domain and connecting high risk processors with automatic cascade. when one mid dies the next one takes over the same day so the customer never sees downtime.

that structure is what stopped the constant rebuilding for us.

I’d be careful with cloaking in this situation. If Shopify has already flagged the products/account, trying to hide them from automated checks could just lead to another ban later.

I’d first make sure the products are actually allowed, then contact Shopify and provide clear business/product documentation. Also, if Shopify Payments isn’t suitable for the niche, it may be better to look into a legitimate third-party processor that explicitly supports the business type.

I think the previous ban history is probably a bigger factor here than simply “warming up” the store. Shopify says it continuously evaluates transaction patterns and historical activity across businesses.
 
Is there a specific reason you keep using Shopify? If you can generate 2-5k sales in 1 day, you have someone build you a set of custom stores, split sales across them to warm them up, then pump the real sales through it.
