Website Design Client: Premium Hookah Store
Location: Des Plaines, IL
A young entrepreneur who was starting a new business sought a local eCommerce website designer near Des Plaines to assist him in developing his new website for "Premium Hookah Store". The plan is to open a brick and mortar store. However, he first wanted to begin sales online for his hookah pipes which are used to smoke tobacco products. After searching the internet for a local Shopify expert, he found AdverGroup. After reviewing our portfolio, he felt we had the experience. After meeting with us he felt we had a firm understanding of his needs and the true ability to deliver.
This new tobacco product website was a typical eCommerce Shopify website. However, there were a few small challenges that we conquered for this client. The challenge was not some crazy amount of products or some super new function ability. The challenge was that Shopify did not allow sales of tobacco, CBD, or Hemp products. Well, not exactly Shopify, but their financial partners or credit card processors are actually the ones that prohibit such sales. This is because these products are considered high-risk. Even though the client does not sell tobacco, Shopify's financial partners viewed a Hookah as tobacco products. No problem, AdverGroup provided a solution that allowed this client to remain in the Shopify eCommerce Platform, which is the industry standard and best choice for any eCommerce website in todays world of web design solutions. Being a true Shopify expert, AdverGroup was still able to accomplish credit card processing for hookahs which allowed this client to sell using the Shopify eCommerce Platform. Review the Shopify Policy below that we were able to solve.
Below, see a snapshot of the Shopify Policy which restricts sales of products that are viewed as "high-risk".
