Providing access to your Shopify website

Sometimes Elfsight Support Team might request temporary access to your Shopify website's admin panel. This article explains how to share it with us.

Sharing Access

There are two ways you can give us access to your Shopify website's backend. Let's go over both options.

Collaborator Request

To access your website's backend, we submit a collaborator request targeting only Applications, Settings, Blog Posts, Pages, Navigation, and Themes sections of your admin panel.

1

You'll see the collaborator request notification in the top left corner of your Shopify dashboard. Simply click on the alert to proceed:

2

Then scroll to Collaborators and click on the pending request:

3

Press Accept Request:

The request has been approved. We will get a notification that we can now access your website's backend.

Creating Staff Account

You can also give us access to your website's backend by sending us an invitation to create a Staff Account.

1

Log in to your Shopify admin panel and click Settings:

2

Go to Users and Permissions and click the Add Staff button:

3

Fill in the Staff information and send the invite.

First, enter the account information:

• First name: elfsight
• Email: [email protected]

Next, specify the Permissions:

• Online Store: Themes, Edit Code, Blog Posts and Pages, Navigation
• Store Settings: Manage Settings, Domains

In App permissions, check Manage and install apps and channels and click Send Invite:

As you click Send Invite, a staff account for elfsight will be created and an invitation will be automatically sent to [email protected].
