Add A New Staff Account

As your business grows, managing everything on your own can become overwhelming. Hiring staff to help with daily tasks or specialized roles can make your Shopify store more successful and give you the opportunity to expand.

Shopify allows you to add individual staff accounts so your team members can log in to the Shopify admin with their own credentials. You have complete control over which sections of the admin each staff member can access.

Step-by-step guide on how to add a new staff account on Shopify

Step 1: Log in to your account

First, log in to your Shopify admin account. Click here to access the Shopify login page.

Step 2: Go to Settings

Once logged in, look at the bottom-left corner of the Shopify admin dashboard. Click on Settings.

Step 3: Select “Users and permissions”

In the Settings menu, select Users and permissions. This section allows you to manage all staff accounts associated with your store.

Step 4: Click “Add staff”

In the “Users and permissions” section, scroll down to the Staff accounts section. Click Add staff to create a new staff account.

Step 5: Enter the staff information

You’ll be taken to a new page where you need to enter the staff member’s first name, last name, and email address.

Step 6: Assign permissions
