Does r/shopify allow self-promotion?

What r/shopify's own rules say

Every line below is the room's own sentence, word for word, including its spelling. We pick the sentences about promotion, links and who may post; we never shorten one.

• Soliciting third party or private services via private messages is not allowed.

• This is not the place to promote yourself to the members here.

• Violations and attempts to circumvent this rule by "recommending someone" inviting private solicitation via DM or request for DM will result in a ban.

• Posts asking for 3PL recommendations will not be allowed, as this almost always results in direct solicitation and spam / scam responses.

• No spamming, content marketing, advertising, promotions, or soliciting of any kind allowed.

What it actually removes

r/shopify removed at least 98 posts from newer accounts in 7 days, counted from its own moderator bot's public comments over 7 days, read 10 Oct 2026. Through a public mirror, not the Reddit API.

• at least 98Newer accounts, removed for karma or account age.
• at least 2Other removals, removed for a reason the wording did not name.

The mirror returns at most 100 actions per read and this room filled the page, so every number above is a floor, not a rate.

This counts only what the room announces. A moderator removing something by hand leaves nothing to count, so a low number would prove nothing, which is why we only print this for rooms where it is high.

What to do instead

1. Do not post about your product here. A removed post can cost the account, not just the post.
2. Answer questions instead of announcing. When we counted, 3 questions here had no reply at all.
3. Build some history in the room first, from an account that has commented before.
4. Read the live rules page before you post. The rules can change after the copy we quote was taken.

How this page was made

The rules come from the arctic-shift public mirror's copy of the room's rules list, sidebar and posting guidelines. We do not use the Reddit API. The posting answer rests on the room's own words when they say anything about promotion, then on removals we counted, then on our inference, and the line under each answer says which. A rule that was rewritten after the mirror's copy was taken will not show here, which is why the capture date is printed above.
