‍What are Collaborators?‍

Collaborators in Shopify are Partners with access to your store, similar to staff members but with added benefits. Unlike regular staff, collaborators access your store directly from their Partner Dashboard, and you can manage their permissions easily from your store’s admin panel. An added advantage is that collaborators don’t count towards your store’s staff limit.

What is a Collaborator Request Code?

A Shopify Collaborator Request Code is a secure, unique code that grants access to third parties, such as developers or consultants, allowing them to help manage and customise your store. This code ensures a secure and controlled method for external collaborators to assist with store modifications without compromising your store's security.

‍

Collaborator Permissions

Only the store owner or staff members with permission to manage collaborator requests can view and approve Shopify collaborator access requests. When a Shopify Partner requests access to your store, you’ll receive an email notification and an alert on your Shopify Home.

You can also require Shopify Partners to enter a collaborator request code when submitting a request, giving you more control over the requests you receive. With the code requirement, only Partners with the code can request access to your store.
