What If My Store Gets Banned?

What happens

When Shopify bans your store, your auto-generated domain is deactivated. Your Kenso license was locked to that domain, so you'll need to transfer it to a new store.

How to recover

  1. Create a new Shopify store
  2. Go to usekenso.com/theme/portal
  3. Click Change Domain on your license
  4. Enter your new store's domain
  5. Download and install the theme on your new store
  6. You're back in business

Both Lite and Pro customers can do this themselves in the portal. There's a 14-day cooldown between transfers — if you need it done immediately after a ban, contact support and we'll help.

Preventing bans

  • Follow Shopify's terms of service
  • Respond to customer complaints quickly
  • Avoid selling prohibited items
  • Use proper digital delivery methods
  • Kenso's built-in checkout flow is designed to be compliant
