New Shopify Basic Plan has No Staff Features

I was working on migrating a store from a competing platform to Shopify using a Basic plan. I already have two Shopify stores (basic plan) and they include two additional staff members per store where I generally have someone handle the orders etc.

Halfway through the migration effort I realized that the “new” Basic Plan doesn’t support adding staff members. Shrinkflation? Basic Plan $29, next plan up $79/month which allows for 5 users.

Any ideas on how I can get a legacy Basic plan? I just need to be able to add at least one staff member to handle orders otherwise I stay on the platform that I’m already on.

Instead of a staff account, you can ask your staff to send a collab request to access your store.
