Handover site to client?

Shopify Discussion

Hi there,

this will be my first Shopify store build for a client.

Question: Do I build the store on my own account and then transfer it over to the client or should the client sign up for their own account and have me join their team to build their store for them?

Hi,

This is Richard at PageFly - Shopify Advanced Page Builder app.

You can find documentation on transferring a store here: https://help.shopify.com/en/partners/building-stores-for-merchants/transferring-store-ownership

If your client doesn’t have an existing store, you can follow this process:

  1. Create a development store using your Shopify partner account (with unlimited trial time).

  2. Build the store for your client.

  3. Transfer the store to your client.

  4. Ask your client to accept the transfer and pick plan.

That’s it. Then, you can receive a recurring commission equal to 20% of the merchant’s monthly subscription fee.

Also, you can see here: https://help.shopify.com/en/partners/building-stores-for-merchants

Hoping my solution helps you solve your problem.

Best regards,

Richard | PageFly

There’s a transfer of store ownership procedure you can use so I’d suggest you build it then transfer to your client. It’s pretty easy and straightforward https://help.shopify.com/en/partners/building-stores-for-merchants/transferring-store-ownership
