Transfer development site to an existing account?

Hello,

I am building a new website for a client, who has an existing Shopify store, but I am wondering what the best way to build a new one is?

I have read you can transfer ownership of the dev store within your partner account here:

https://help.shopify.com/en/partners/dashboard/managing-stores/hand-off-development-stores#transfer-store-ownership-using-the-partner-dashboard

However it always seems to state that whoever you transfer it to needs to create a NEW account.

Does this mean it can’t be transferred to an existing account? What happens if you put in information that matches their current account?

Thanks!

Hi, @Cyphix333 .

Thank you for reaching out! Yes, you can enter in the new owners information (even if they currently have an account) and transfer the store to them.

Thanks very much Emily. So you just enter in their information and it will connect it to their current account for the transfer?

Exactly! You can see our guide on store transfers here for full details.

If there is anything else I can help you with, please let me know.
