Shopify Trademark Usage and Brand Guidelines
Understanding Trademarks and Shopify's Brand
Trademarks are valuable assets that help distinguish Shopify's products, services, and brand from others. Proper use of Shopify's trademarks is essential for maintaining the integrity and strength of our brand.
This page provides guidance on how to use Shopify's trademarks, logos, and other brand assets correctly. It also provides links to specific guidelines for different Shopify products and programs.
General Guidance on Using Shopify Brand Assets
When using Shopify's brand assets, it's important to adhere to the following general principles:
- Authorization Required: Any use of Shopify's brand assets generally requires express authorization in writing from Shopify.
- No Misleading Affiliation: Your use must not mislead consumers into thinking that Shopify has sponsored, affiliated with, or endorsed your company, products, or services, unless you have explicit permission to do so.
- Exclusive Property: Shopify's brand assets are the exclusive property of Shopify Inc. All goodwill generated from the use of Shopify's brand assets benefits Shopify.
- Respect Shopify's Rights: You agree not to take any action that conflicts with Shopify's rights in or ownership of its brand assets.
- Hyperlink to Shopify: When Shopify's name or Brand Assets are mentioned on a webpage, they should ideally include an embedded hyperlink to our homepage: https://www.shopify.com.
- Respectful Use: Shopify's brand assets must always be used in a respectful manner. They should not be used in a way that could harm Shopify, its products or services, or in a manner that, in Shopify's opinion, lessens or otherwise damages Shopify's reputation or goodwill.
- Prohibited Associations: Do not associate Shopify's brand assets with any illicit, illegal, deceptive, or harmful activities.
