Frequently Asked Questions
Shopify Partner access will always grant you full access to the store.
When your client clicks the link, they are shown some user-friendly instructions to grant you collaborator access. ClientInvite stores the collaborator code, and Shopify URL, allowing you to complete the request process with all the information you need.
Yes, absolutely. The store owner retains full control and can remove collaborator access granted through ClientInvite at any time directly within their Shopify Admin settings (Settings -> Users and permissions -> Collaborators).
The store owner doesn't add you by hand. You send a collaborator request from your Partner Dashboard using the store's collaborator request code, and the owner approves it in their Shopify admin under Settings, Users and permissions. ClientInvite collects the code and the store URL from the client so you can send that request straight away.
A Shopify store has a store owner, staff accounts and collaborator accounts. Collaborator accounts are for Shopify Partners working on the store, and the store owner decides which areas of the admin a collaborator can access. Agencies and freelancers use collaborator access rather than a staff login.
ClientInvite is designed primarily for agencies and freelancers using Shopify Partner accounts to manage multiple client stores.
