The e-commerce company closed several sites associated with President Trump that sold merchandise popular among his supporters, including TrumpStore.com and shop.donaldjtrump.com, following the violent riots at the Capitol.

Shopify told the New York Times that it “does not tolerate actions that incite violence” and that the President’s action violated its user policy terms, which prohibits promoting organisations that threaten or condone violence.

At the riots on Wednesday, which came as Congress sought to certify the presidential election results, supporters wore some of the merchandise that had been available through Shopify sites, including the red “Make Ameria Great Again” hats.
