Hi @Bs3 

Thank you for your question!

To clarify, anyone can create a partner account on Shopify, even our merchants. A partner account gives you the ability to build a development store or an app on our platform and collect commission for work done through the Shopify platform.

About the Shopify Partner Program · Shopify Help Center 

A partner on Shopify has the ability to create a development store and also request access to existing stores through their partner account. 

Are you concerned about the credentials of a possible developer for your website? A reliable developer should be able to offer references and examples of their work for you. You should also have a contract for the work you are expecting of them and the total cost of that work.

Tengo una pregunta. Es posible que me estafe un shopify partners aceptando ser colaborador con todas las condiciones abiertas de mi tienda?

Lo digo porquee contacto un colaborador de shopify vía Instagram a mi página y me dijo que me ayudaría, hablamos un rato y dijo que haría un estudio de la página, me pidió mi sitio web y me dijo que revisara mi correo y aceptara que el fuera colaborador y los permisos que me envió fueron todos, es decir que yo le daba permiso en todos los ámbitos de la tienda. Yo no lo conozco y por eso tengo dudas si le acepto la invitación a que sea mi colaborador es posible que me estafe, puesto que tengo mi dominio y mis datos de tarjetas de crédito en mi tienda.

Es posible que un colaborador haga eso o no.?por favor sáquenme de

Hi @AMC10 

Your question has been asked on our English support forums and I recommend that you repost it on our Spanish forums to ensure a full response and answer to your concerns:  Comunidad de Shopify (ES)  

Using Google translate I was able to understand that you have a partner that is requesting full access to your store through a collaborator account. I personally wouldn't recommend this, as most developers don't need access to all your store settings and information. 

It is important to know that even a collaborator account will not be able to see the entirety of your billing or account details, but if they had full access they may be able to setup alternate payment gateways or change the payout account for the gateways you are using. For this reason, they don't normally require access to that area of the admin. I would recommend providing them access to your online store sales channel and maybe your products, if you wish to work with them. I always recommend trusting your gut, if you feel like this partner is not working in your best interest, there are lots of people out there willing to help instead.
