Requesting access to a client’s store

You can use collaborator accounts to access your clients’ stores directly through your own Partner Dashboard or using the Shopify app. Collaborator accounts give you access to only the sections of a store that your client wants you to see, and do not count towards a store’s staff limit. Any stores that you have access to by using a collaborator account are labeled as Managed stores in your Partner Dashboard.

  1. From your Partner Dashboard, click Stores.
  2. Click Add store > Request access to store.
  3. Enter the URL of the Shopify store that you want to access.
  4. If the Shopify store requires a collaborator request code, then enter the code.
  5. In the Permissions section, select the sections of the store that you want to access. The account owner can change these permissions after your account is created.
  6. If you want to include a message to the store owner in your request, then enter a message in the Add a message section.
  7. Click Request access to store.
