Staff access and permissions for Shopify
Shopify Staff Accounts Set Up So Everyone Has Exactly the Access They Need
Shopify staff accounts make it easy to add people and easy to forget to remove them. We audit who has access, design roles by job, set up staff and collaborators properly, check two-step authentication and clear out old accounts. From $290, fixed price.
- An audit of every person and app with access
- Roles by job, not full permissions for everyone
- Two-step authentication checked on every account
- Former staff and old agencies removed
Our track record
450+ Shopify Stores Launched Since 2015. Your Access Gets the Same Care.
Most stores accumulate access like a drawer accumulates keys: a freelancer from three years ago, an agency that finished long ago, a manager who left. Each key is a risk. We count them, decide who needs which, and take the rest away.

Who this is for
Who Needs Staff Account and Permission Management
Owners usually review access after something goes wrong. Six situations account for most of the staff account & permission management work we see.
You are a good fit if
- More than one person has access to your store
- You want a fixed price and written scope for access reviews
- You will own the owner account and decisions
- You can tell us who does what
Stores that have added several people
Everyone was given full permissions to get started, and nobody went back.
Owners who had a data or settings scare
A deleted product, a changed payout account or a suspicious login. You want to know who can do what.
Merchants whose agencies have changed
Old collaborator accounts and app access remain after projects end.
Teams handling customer and payment data
Access to customers and finances should be limited to the people who need it.
Growing stores hiring support and marketers
New hires need access to orders or products, not to settings and payouts.
Founders with no time for an audit
You would rather hand over access and receive a clean, documented setup.
Problems solved
Why Shopify Access Gets Out of Hand
Access grows by accident and shrinks only on purpose. These six patterns are what we usually find.
Everyone has full permissions.
Outcome: Giving full access is the fastest way to onboard someone, and it is rarely corrected.
Former people still have access.
Outcome: Staff, freelancers and agencies stay on the list long after they stop working for you.
Two-step authentication is missing.
Outcome: Accounts with access to settings or money should use two-step authentication, and some do not.
Staff and collaborator accounts are mixed up.
Outcome: Using staff seats for agencies, or collaborators for employees, causes cost and control problems.
Apps hold broad permissions.
Outcome: Installed apps may keep access to customers and orders that they no longer need.
No written policy.
Outcome: Without a policy, each new person is set up differently and nobody knows the rule.
What we can do
What Our Staff Account and Permission Management Covers
Six jobs make up the service. Your package decides how many people and apps are reviewed.
Access audit
We list every staff account, collaborator and app with access, what each can do and when each last signed in.
Role design
We group people by job, such as support, marketing or content, and design roles with only the permissions each needs.
Staff and collaborator set-up
We set up staff accounts with custom or preset roles, and collaborator accounts for agencies, so seats are used correctly.
Two-step authentication
We check that every account with sensitive access uses two-step authentication and help people turn it on.
Clean-up of old access
Former staff, finished agencies and unused apps are removed or reduced, with your approval for each.
Written access policy
A one-page policy says how access is granted, reviewed and removed, so the next person is set up the same way.

Inside every project
What Protects Your Store While We Review Its Access
Access review touches the keys to your store, so these six habits come with every package.
Owner approves every removal
We recommend, you approve. Nobody is removed without your say.
Least access for us too
We ask for the narrowest access that lets us do the work, and remove it when we finish.
No passwords shared
We never ask for your owner password in access reviews. Access is granted through the owner account's own tools.
Everything logged
Every change is recorded in a log, so you can see what was removed or adjusted.
No security guarantees
We improve your setup with good practice. We cannot promise that no incident will ever occur.
Fixed scope, two revision rounds
The price is agreed before work starts, and changes inside scope run in two structured rounds for access reviews.

What we need to get started
What We Need Before We Start Your Access Review
Three ways to give access, then a short list of facts about your team.
Accept our collaborator request
Give us your store address and approve the request we send. The owner can grant what we need and remove us in one click.
Taking over a store? That is fine
Tell us what you inherited. We start by listing who has access.
Or have the owner add us as staff
A restricted staff account works too, though the collaborator route is easier to revoke for access reviews.
Who works on your store
List the people and what each does, so roles match real jobs.
Who should not have access
Tell us about anyone who has left or whose project has finished.
Who approves changes
Tell us the owner or manager who approves each removal.
Owner passwords are never requested. Only the owner can grant access, and every change is approved by you and logged.

What is a staff account on Shopify compared with a collaborator account?
What is a staff account on Shopify versus a collaborator? Staff are your team. Collaborators are outside people, such as agencies, who request access and do not count against your staff limit. We use the right one for each.
How to add staff on Shopify with limited permissions?
How to add staff on Shopify with limited access: invite them, choose a preset or custom role and tick only the permissions they need. We design the roles and set each person up.
How to add staff to Shopify if my plan has no free seats?
How to add staff to Shopify when seats run out: change plan, remove an unused account or use a collaborator for outside help. We review seat use and tell you the cheapest sensible option.
Where is the Shopify staff account login?
The Shopify staff account login is the admin sign-in page, using the email the owner invited. If someone cannot sign in, we check the invitation, two-step setup and role.
How do people sign in to Shopify staff account for the first time?
To sign in to Shopify staff account for the first time, accept the invitation email, set a password and set up two-step authentication. We include simple steps for new staff.
What do Shopify users and permissions control?
Shopify users and permissions control which areas each person can view or change, such as orders, products, customers, analytics and settings. We build roles from these categories.
What does a Shopify request collaborator access involve?
A Shopify request collaborator access flow starts with the outsider sending a request code. The owner approves it and chooses permissions. We guide you through approving only what is needed.
Do you need my Shopify password for Staff Account & Permission Management?
No. Only the owner can grant access, through the admin's own tools. We never ask for your password.
How to access Shopify admin if I lost access?
How to access Shopify admin after losing access: use account recovery from the sign-in page, contact the owner or contact Shopify support. We check recovery contacts as part of the review.
How do Shopify staff permissions work with apps?
Shopify staff permissions apply to people, while apps hold their own permissions. We review both, so an app does not hold access a person lacks.
Do I need a different Shopify account management service for agencies?
Shopify account management services for agencies mean giving them collaborator access for each project and removing it afterwards. We set that up and document it.
Can you explain Shopify collaborator vs staff account choices for my team?
Shopify collaborator vs staff account choices depend on whether the person is on your payroll and how long they stay. We map each person to the right type and tell you the reasons.
