Key gotchas
The things that catch every first-time seller. We fix them at set-up.
- Shopify is not free traffic
Marketplaces have built-in demand; .com does not. Budget for paid acquisition (Meta, Google, TikTok) from day one — typical CAC is 1.5–3× of marketplace.
- Multi-region needs Shopify Plus
For separate localized storefronts (US/UK/EU pricing, currency, language), Shopify Plus markets or Plus-with-Hydrogen is the practical floor.
Prohibited or restricted categories
Shopify doesn’t allow or heavily restricts these.
