Adding staff/users on Shopify

1. Go to your Shopify dashboard > “Settings” > “Users and permissions”

The first thing you need to do is log into your Shopify admin account. Once you are logged in, follow these steps:

1. Click on “Settings” towards the bottom of your Shopify dashboard.
2. Select “Users and Permissions”. You should see a page with all your Shopify team’s current users. 
3. Click “Add Staff“.

2. Add your users

Once you are on the Users and Permissions page, follow these steps:

1. Click on the button that says “Add Staff”.
2. A new area will open where you can enter information about the new staff member.  
3. Enter staff member’s details.

When adding a new staff member, you must enter essential information about them. That includes:

• Their full name as it appears on their government-issued ID: Often, this will be their first and last name.
• Their email address: It’s essential to have a current email address for each staff member, so double-check that it’s valid before submitting.

3. Select your preferred permissions

The last step is to select which permissions this staff member has within your shop. You can choose from a few different options depending on what type of access they need within your store or website. Here are a few examples:

• Viewing customer information and orders
• Managing your team members, including deleting them or changing their permissions
• Creating content like blog posts, product descriptions, and more

4. Double-check the information and click “Send invite”

Here’s what to do once you have entered all of the required information and selected your permissions:

1. Double-check to make sure everything looks correct.
2. Click “Send invite” to confirm your selections and complete the process. The staff member will receive an email with further instructions on accessing your store and getting started.

Tip: Be careful what permissions you allow to certain individuals. Especially if hiring through the web. You don’t want to risk your store on the trust of a potential scammer/stranger with bad intentions. Even when hired through trusted freelance platforms such as UpWork.
