Shopify Login: How to Access Your Store

Do you want to access your Shopify store's admin? This page explains everything you need to know to successfully log in to Shopify, whether you're on a computer or using the official mobile app. The process is simple, fast, and secure, provided you know the right methods.

1. Logging in to Shopify admin

Method 1: via Shopify.com

To log in to the admin of your Shopify store, go to shopify.com and then click on "Log in" in the top right corner. Then enter your email address and password to access your dashboard. If you forget it, use the "Forgot password" link to reset your access. If you manage multiple stores, Shopify will ask you to choose which one to open.

Method 2: via your store's direct URL

Each Shopify store has a unique address in the format mystore.myshopify.com. You can access the admin directly via:

https://mystore.myshopify.com/admin

If you have linked a custom domain name, you can also use the URL: https://mystore.com/admin

Tip: add this address to your favorites for faster access.

Different access levels

Shopify admin manages several user roles with different permissions:

1. Owner: full access to all sections, settings, and reports. Only one owner per store, transferable if needed.
2. Administrator: full access except for certain critical settings.
3. Collaborator: limited access (products, orders, customers).
4. Analyst: access to reports only.
5. Marketing: access to campaigns and product pages.
6. Accountant: access to orders and financial reports.
7. Private app developers: access via API and Webhooks.

Permissions can be customized according to your needs. The number of staff accounts varies depending on the Shopify plan:

• Shopify Basic: 2 staff accounts
• Shopify: 5 staff accounts
• Shopify Advanced: 15 staff accounts

Access via a Shopify Partner account is not counted towards this limit.
