Who can apply to sell NFTs on Shopify?
Shopify's NFT page says NFT sales through Shopify Payments are currently supported in 13 regions: Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States.
Approval covers first-party, primary sales, and secondary sales or resales aren't permitted. Shopify Payments also doesn't support NFT marketplaces, NFTs with secondary royalties or staking rewards, or NFTs used or gamified in any way that violates the Shopify Payments Terms of Service.
Not charging for NFTs? The same page says you can offer free NFTs instead, with no transaction fees allowed and no cryptocurrency required of customers.
How do you apply through an NFT partner app?
Shopify's NFT FAQ answers this question directly:
If you're a Shopify merchant based in an eligible region, then you can apply to become an approved seller of first-party, primary NFTs by enabling one of Shopify's minting app partners on your online store.
- Read the risks and requirements page first, as Shopify advises applicants.
- Add a minting app, not a tokengating one, from the App Store's NFT and tokengating category; each partner sets its own fees.
- Answer the app's eligibility questions; the decision arrives as a message in the app.
Shopify requires this pre-approval, but none of Shopify's three NFT help pages we read on September 27, 2026 — the NFT page, its FAQ and the risks page — gives a review time.
What happens after the approval decision?
Once approved, you're held to Shopify Payments rules: the risks page prohibits intellectual property infringement, gambling, hateful content and adult content, and adds:
Shopify and/or our banking partners have the right to hold funds, suspend payments or terminate your Shopify Payments account as a whole, for any reason and at our discretion.
Customers pay with methods such as credit cards, Shop Pay and accelerated checkouts; you can also add a cryptocurrency payment processor.
If the answer is no, the same three pages we read on September 27, 2026 describe no way to reapply or appeal.
