Introduction

Collaborating on a Shopify store can significantly enhance your business operations by allowing experts to manage specific tasks such as design, development, and marketing. Shopify's collaborator accounts facilitate this by giving third-party users access to your store without sharing your main account credentials. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to get a collaborator code on Shopify admin.

What is a Collaborator Account?

A collaborator account is a special type of Shopify account that allows partners, such as developers, designers, and marketers, to access your store's admin. They can help manage different aspects of your store, such as theme customization, app installation, or SEO optimization, while maintaining the security of your main account.
