Protect your store from regulatory fines and chargebacks. Vapely Compliance uses advanced AI to automatically classify your products and block illegal sales at checkout based on real-time US federal and state laws.
Selling vape, e-cigarette, and hemp-derived products online is extraordinarily complex. With state-by-state flavor bans, nicotine caps, and THC restrictions constantly changing, manual compliance is impossible. One wrong shipment can cost you your payment processor or result in massive fines.
Every tool your Shopify store needs to stay compliant with vape, e-cigarette, and hemp regulations.
Our advanced AI automatically scans your product titles, descriptions, and variants to classify them — extracting flavor profiles, nicotine strength, volume, and product type in seconds.
Products are instantly evaluated against our comprehensive database of US federal, state, and local city/zip code ordinances. We track flavor bans, nicotine caps, synthetic nicotine rules, and hemp/THC restrictions down to the local level.
Compliance isn't just at the product level. Vapely evaluates down to the specific variant, allowing you to block a 50mg nicotine variant in a restricted state while still selling the 20mg variant of the exact same product.
Built on Shopify's latest Checkout Extensibility, Vapely physically prevents customers from completing purchases if their cart contains items restricted in their shipping state, city, or zip code.
Built for scale. Our chunked processing architecture allows Vapely to evaluate massive product catalogs (thousands of products) quickly and reliably without timing out or crashing your store.
Have a specific legal exemption? Our override system lets you bypass automated rules with documented justifications, keeping you in full control of your business while maintaining audit trails.
Connect Vapely to your Shopify store. We securely sync your entire product catalog including titles, descriptions, variants, and images for AI analysis.
Our AI engine analyzes your catalog and automatically tags products with compliance metafields — product type, flavor, nicotine strength, THC content, and more.
Vapely evaluates your products against state laws and automatically blocks restricted shipments at checkout. Your customers see clear warnings. Your store stays compliant.
Vapely classifies disposable vapes, e-liquids, pod systems, nicotine pouches, hemp/CBD products, THC-derived products, and related accessories. Our AI analyzes product titles, descriptions, and variants to extract flavor profiles, nicotine strength, volume, and product type.
Vapely uses Shopify's Checkout Extensibility to evaluate the customer's shipping state, city, and zip code against the products in their cart. If any product is restricted in that location, the checkout is physically blocked — preventing the order from being placed. This happens automatically with no manual intervention needed.
We track US federal regulations, all 50 state-specific laws, and local city/county ordinances. This includes flavor bans, nicotine concentration caps, synthetic nicotine rules, hemp/THC delta-8/delta-9 restrictions, PMTA status, and age verification requirements. Our database is continuously updated.
No. Vapely Compliance is a software tool designed to assist with regulatory compliance, not replace legal counsel. We strongly recommend consulting with a qualified attorney regarding your specific compliance obligations. See our Terms & Conditions for full details.
Vapely accesses your product catalog (titles, descriptions, tags, variants, images) for AI classification. During checkout, we temporarily process the customer's shipping state and IP address. We do not store customers' names, street addresses, or payment information. See our Privacy Policy for details.
Yes. Vapely provides a Manual Override feature allowing merchants to bypass automated blocks with documented justifications. If you have a specific legal exemption, you can configure overrides while maintaining a full audit trail. Note that using overrides means you assume full liability for those decisions.
Stop risking fines, chargebacks, and lost payment processors. Automate your compliance with AI-powered product classification and bulletproof checkout blocking.
