E-Liquids: A Named Class in the Notice
No ambiguity here — “e-liquids” appears verbatim in Shopify's definition of ENDS. Every bottle, every strength, every format is out by July 7, 2026, and juice-focused stores have a specific migration profile worth understanding.

Everything the e-liquid class covers
- Freebase e-liquid and nicotine salts, all strengths including 0mg
- Shortfills and longfills (unflavored base + shot formats)
- DIY components: PG/VG base, flavor concentrates marketed for vaping, nic shots
- Prefilled pods and cartridges — doubly covered as refills/parts
Juice stores have the deepest catalogs — and the deepest SEO
A typical e-liquid store runs 3,000–15,000 variants (brand × flavor × size × strength) and ranks on hundreds of long-tail flavor queries. Two migration implications:
1. Variant fidelity is the whole game
Our reconciliation report counts variants, not just products — a 12,000-variant catalog transfers with per-variant SKUs, barcodes and stock, verified against source row counts before DNS moves.
2. Flavor pages are ranking assets
Collection and search-landing pages ("strawberry ice nic salt", "menthol shortfill") get mirrored slugs or 301s, titles and schema preserved. Post-migration reports on juice stores show organic sessions within ±5% of baseline by day 14.
Mixers and manufacturers: one extra layer
If you manufacture, your wholesale channel and MSDS/compliance docs move too — batch pages, COAs where applicable, and B2B pricing tiers are standard scope. See the wholesale page.
Payments note for juice
E-liquid is classified as tobacco by underwriters even at 0mg if marketed alongside nicotine lines. We place juice stores with acquirers that state e-liquid acceptance in writing — how that works.

Quick answers
Is unflavored nicotine base also banned?
Yes — nic shots and bases are e-liquid components and refills. DIY-supply stores are squarely in scope.
We sell flavor concentrates for baking too. Split catalog?
If concentrates are marketed for vaping anywhere on the listing, they match. Genuinely dual-use products need genuinely separate positioning — we handle that split during catalog mapping.
How do you migrate 12,000 variants without errors?
Automated transfer, then variant-level reconciliation: SKU counts, price checksums and stock totals compared to source before cutover. You sign off on the numbers.
Do subscription juice clubs survive the move?
Yes — active subscriptions map with billing anchors preserved, and the vaulted cards stay with the processor, not the platform.
