Why You Need a Shopify Collaborator Code

Running a Shopify store often requires teamwork—whether you’re working with developers, designers, or marketing experts. Instead of sharing your admin login (which is risky!), Shopify allows you to generate a collaborator code to grant secure access without compromising your account.

Benefits of Using a Collaborator Code

✅ Security – No need to share your personal login details.

✅ Controlled Access – Limit what collaborators can see and edit.

✅ Easy Setup – Generate and revoke access anytime.

✅ Great for Developers – Perfect for agencies or freelancers working on your store.

Step 1: Log in to Your Shopify Admin

Go to your Shopify Admin and enter your credentials.

Step 2: Navigate to “Settings”

In the bottom-left corner, click “Settings” (⚙️ icon).

Step 3: Click “Users and Permissions”

Under the “Store settings” section, select “Users and permissions.”

Step 4: Generate a Collaborator Code

Scroll down to the “Collaborators” section and click “Add collaborator.”
