Hi,

I want to transfer a Shopify site which I developed in the Partner account to user.

What are the steps I need to take?

Should I ask the user to go to shopify.com and Register an account then add the user as staff to the Shopify Partner Website I have developed, and transfer the site to this new staff?

Thanks,

  • Make sure that you add them as a staff member and that they complete the staff account setup. After you transfer ownership to your client, you remain on the store as a collaborator but no longer have access to financial information.

Thank you for your replay,

After I transfer the website, if the user needs me to fix any bug or make some changes, how can I access it?

Thanks

Through a collaborator account. Collaborator accounts give you access to only the sections of a store that your client wants you to see, and do not count towards a store’s staff limit. Any stores that you have access to by using a collaborator account are labeled as Managed stores in your Partner Dashboard.

Can also be done via a staff account however requires a plan > basic.
