What If My Store Gets Banned?

Shopify occasionally shuts down stores. Here's what happens to your Kenso license if that happens.

Understanding Store Bans

Why Stores Get Banned

Common reasons:

  • Selling prohibited items
  • Copyright/trademark issues
  • Customer complaints
  • Payment processor issues
  • Terms of service violations

What Happens to Your License

When your store is banned:

  • Your auto-generated domain is deactivated
  • Your Kenso license was locked to that domain
  • You'll need to create a new Shopify store
  • New store = new auto-generated domain
