Canada’s Shopify Inc took down stores affiliated with United States President Donald Trump from its e-commerce platform on Thursday, a day after hundreds of his supporters stormed the US Capitol.
Trump, who has refused to concede his loss to Democratic President-elect Joe Biden, had urged his supporters to come to Washington for a rally on Wednesday.
Shopify said the recent events determined that Trump’s actions violated its policy, which prohibits promotion or support of organisations, platforms or people that threaten or condone violence to further a cause.
Attempts to access TrumpStore.com and Shop.DonaldJTrump.com, which sold “Make America Great Again” hats and similar items, were unsuccessful on Thursday, as the websites displayed error messages.

United States President Donald Trump has been banned from Facebook and Instagram “indefinitely” because of the risk he poses to incite violence.
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg posted a statement to his account on Thursday that Trump’s accounts would be blocked “indefinitely,” and at least for the remainder of his presidential term.
“The shocking events of the last 24 hours clearly demonstrate that President Donald Trump intends to use his remaining time in office to undermine the peaceful and lawful transition of power to his elected successor, Joe Biden,” Zuckerberg wrote.
“Following the certification of the election results by Congress, the priority for the whole country must now be to ensure that the remaining 13 days and the days after inauguration pass peacefully and in accordance with established democratic norms.”
