Can't Buy Vapes on the Tokopedia iPhone App? Here Are Some Alternatives!

Shopify API - 03 November 2025

Hey vapers! Perhaps lately you've been really confused, especially if you're an iPhone user. You used to be able to buy vapes on the Tokopedia app on your iPhone, but now you can't!

Some might be wondering why, but others are already focusing on solutions by looking for alternative ways to purchase. Well, the only way you can buy vape products on your phone is through a browser or Safari.

To help clear up your confusion regarding the regulations for the Tokopedia app on iPhone, Vapeboss will summarize the reasons why and also provide alternatives so you can still buy vapes online on Tokopedia.

Why Can't I Buy Vapes on the Tokopedia iPhone App?

Instead of wondering why you can't buy vapes online on the Tokopedia iPhone App anymore, Vapeboss has summarized some of the reasons, including:

1. App Store & Google Play Store Policies

Tokopedia must adhere to Apple and Google's rules, which prohibit the sale of tobacco products and e-cigarettes (including pods, vapes, and mods) within apps.

Therefore, vape products are automatically not displayed in the Tokopedia iPhone or Android app.

2. Vape Products Can Only Be Accessed Via Browser

To comply with these policies, Tokopedia still displays vape products on the web version (browser/Safari). So if you're an iPhone user, open Tokopedia via Safari to find and buy vape products as usual.

3. Not an Error, But a System Restriction

Many people think the app is experiencing an error, but this is actually an official system setting from Tokopedia. So it's not because your account has a problem, but because vape products are not allowed to be displayed in the iPhone app.

How to Buy Vapes Online on Tokopedia Through Safari

Here are some alternative ways for you to still be able to buy vapes online on Tokopedia through Safari on your iPhone:

1. Access Tokopedia via Safari

Open the Safari browser on your iPhone, then visit tokopedia.com.
The display will be similar to the app, so you don't have to worry about difficulties finding products.

2. Search for the Vape Product You Want

Type the name of the product or store you are looking for in the search bar.

For example, if you want to buy from Tokopedia Vapeboss Indonesia, just type the store's name and the results will appear directly on the search page.

3. Select the Product You Want

After finding the product you want, click to open its product page.

If you haven't logged in to Tokopedia via Safari, an age verification pop-up (21+) will appear. Click "Login" to go to the login page.

4. Log In and Verify Age

Log in using your usual Tokopedia account (email or phone number). If you don't have an account yet, you can register first.

Please note, before purchasing vape products, you must verify that you are at least 21 years old. After logging in, you will receive verification via WhatsApp, then enter your Tokopedia PIN as usual.

Done! Now you can shop via Safari just like in the app.

5. Add to Cart or Buy Directly

You can directly click "Buy Now" or "Add to Cart" if you still want to browse other products. Make sure you choose the variant and quantity of products according to your needs.

6. Checkout Products

Proceed to the checkout page. You can choose a payment method such as Bank Virtual Account or GoPay.

Please note: free shipping is not available in the browser version, but you can still use other Tokopedia vouchers.

Double-check your address and order details before pressing the "Pay Now" button.

7. Make Payment and Await Order Delivery

If you use a virtual account, make the payment according to the instructions that appear.

Once payment is verified, your order will be processed immediately by the seller. Just sit back and relax, and wait for your chosen vape to arrive at your home!

Conclusion

So, even though you can't buy vapes through the Tokopedia app on iPhone anymore, don't worry — you can still shop via Safari in almost the same way. This isn't an error, but a policy from Apple and Google.

As long as you know the way, buying your favorite vapes on Tokopedia is still easy and safe!
