How can I link my Oberlo account to a new store?

Shopify Apps

Topic summary

Issue: Connecting an existing Oberlo account from an old Shopify store to a new store/email.

Context: Oberlo is a dropshipping app for Shopify. Each Oberlo account links to a single Shopify store.

Clarification: The account-store connection is one-to-one. Once connected, an Oberlo account cannot be switched, disconnected, or used across multiple stores.

Outcome: To use Oberlo on a new store, a separate Oberlo account must be created. No migration or transfer of the existing account is supported.

Resources: Staff shared links to product ideas (2020), guides on finding products, and introductory dropshipping courses to help set up the new account.

Reactions: One participant criticized this limitation; another requested confirmation of the policy.

Confirmation: Staff reiterated the restriction and confirmed multi-store use or switching accounts is not possible.

Status: Resolved with definitive guidance; no workaround within the app was provided.

Hi @Nguyenhung ,

Hyde here from Shopify. Great question!

As I understand it, you want to use an Oberlo account you set up on an old store with your new store.

Oberlo does not have the functionality to connect a single Oberlo account to multiple Shopify stores. It is also not possible to change/switch an Oberlo account once it has been connected to a Shopify store. In other words, once a specific Oberlo account has been connected to a specific Shopify store this cannot be undone.

So you will need to create a new Oberlo account for this new Shopify store. I know this may not what you want to hear, but on the bright side: you could take this opportunity to find some new products! Here are the top 20 best-selling products of 2020 for example. Oberlo has tons of great useful guides and videos. For example, here’s the How to Sell Online for 2021 guide.

Here is a guide on how to find products that will help you find the best, most reliable products and suppliers too. Also check out our Dropshipping 101 course on our Academy, as well as our Intro to Dropshipping.

If you have any other questions, please let me know!

All the best, Hyde
