Concerns Over Shopify's Staff Account Policy Changes and Specific App Integration

Concerns Over Shopify's Staff Account Policy Changes and Specific App Integration

Not applicable

Hello Shopify Community,

 

I find myself in a challenging situation due to the recent policy changes regarding Shopify's staff account. It's now required to upgrade to a monthly plan of $105 instead of $39 just to add one staff member (our fulfillment agent). This shift feels quite burdensome, especially for small businesses that are closely monitoring their expenses. To be honest, this change seems a bit ridiculous to us.

 

Adding to the complexity, our operation specifically needs to integrate the Dianxiaomi app from the Shopify App Store. This integration is crucial for our fulfillment agent to manage our logistics and inventory efficiently. With the new policy, it's unclear whether a Collaborator account through a Shopify Partner can facilitate this integration for free, or if this is a privilege only available to direct staff members.

 

Has anyone else faced similar issues with the new staff account policies or with integrating specific apps like Dianxiaomi? Any advice on how to navigate these changes without significantly increasing our operational costs would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you for sharing your experiences and suggestions.
