If a Shopify store listing is using your product photo, the fastest route is Shopify store's own reporting process. Here's exactly where to go and what to include.

Where to report

Shopify DMCA / IP report — Shopify forwards notices to the store owner and may remove content.

What to include

1. The exact URL of the infringing Shopify store listing.
2. Your original work — the URL of your own listing and the date it was published.
3. Your original photo file, if the form allows attachments.
4. Your contact details.
5. A good-faith statement and an accuracy statement under penalty of perjury (see the DMCA notice guide).

You can generate a ready-to-paste notice with our free takedown notice generator.

Shopify store-specific tips

• Shopify hosts the store; its DMCA process forwards notices to the merchant and can remove content.
• Copy the store's full product URL, not only the domain.
• If the store uses a custom domain, it is still a Shopify store if the checkout runs on Shopify.

What happens next

Shopify forwards the notice and can disable content. Store owners can file a counter-notice.

Before you report: save evidence

Listings can disappear and reappear under new IDs. Before reporting, save the URL, a screenshot and an Internet Archive snapshot (web.archive.org → “Save Page Now”). See someone stole my product photos for the full checklist.
