Is it possible for individual employees to be able to create their own email and password to login into Shopify (blue app) on their phones with limited access. Would like for employees who have app downloaded on their phone to receive orders online to fulfill, search customer/sales receipts, however not be able to see financials, more sensitive information.
Topic summary
-
Request: Allow employees to use individual logins on the Shopify mobile app to receive/fulfill online orders and search customers/sales receipts, while preventing access to financial and other sensitive data.
-
Guidance: Use Shopify staff accounts with permissions to grant limited access. Assign specific Point of Sale (POS) permissions so staff can sign into the Shopify POS app with their own credentials. A POS-only staff option lets employees use the POS app without any access to the Shopify admin. Documentation links were provided for adding/managing staff and configuring POS permissions.

Status: Proposed solution identified; no conflicting views. Next steps are to create staff accounts and apply appropriate POS permissions (or POS-only access). The responder offered further setup help, so the discussion appears open for follow-up.
Hi, @HillcoOntheBloc !
Thanks for reaching out in our Community Forums and for sharing your concern, I’d be happy to help.
Great question! You can utilize Shopify’s staff and permissions feature to allow your staff members to login to the Shopify POS App with limited permissions to your store. Feel free to review our thorough guide on how to add and manage your staff members. Following that, you will need to assign specific permissions to your POS staff so that they will be able to log in to Shopify POS using their login credentials. You can learn more about that here.
There’s also an option to set POS staff members only. This means that the staff will have access to the Shopify POS app, but don’t have access to your Shopify admin.
Once you’re able to resolve your staff accounts situation, I’d love to chat with you more about your business!
