Setting up a Shopify ID
Shopify ID(也称为单点登录,单一的年代ign-on, or SSO) includes your email address and a password. You use your Shopify ID to log in to all the stores, programs, and resources on Shopify to which you have access. A Shopify ID belongs to an individual user, and not to a store. Each user must create and use their own Shopify ID to access any store, Shopify Learn, the Partner Dashboard, or the Shopify Community forums.
It takes only a moment to review your stores and set up your Shopify ID. After the setup is complete, you will use this email address and password any time you log in.

Benefits of a Shopify ID
The Shopify ID simplifies logging in, and offers the following benefits:
- You can switch between your stores faster.
- You can log in less often.
- You have only one password to remember for all Shopify products.
All staff need to set up a Shopify ID for their own individual accounts. They'll be prompted to do so when they log in.
Using a Shopify ID does not affect the following:
- Access to Shopify POS; staff still use a PIN to log in.
- 商店settings or Partner Dashboard settings.
- Customer accounts.
Before you start
You are only prompted to set up a Shopify ID if you use the same email address for more than one store, program, or resource. To see which email address you use for a store, check your account settings. Make sure that you use the same email address for any store, program, or resource that you want to access with the same Shopify ID.
- If you use the same email address for stores that you don't want to include in the Shopify ID, then you shoulduse a different email addressfor those stores. A good way to double check this is by reviewing your list of stores in thestore switcher. This is the same as the list of stores that you see when you set up the Shopify ID.
- If you currently share login credentials with your staff, or if staff share login credentials with each other, then make sure thatyou send all staff an invitationto create their own Shopify ID. It’s important for your store security that all staff have their own Shopify ID. Otherwise, staff who have your Shopify ID login credentials will effectively have store owner permissions to all your stores that you log in to with that ID.
- If you use a password manager, then make sure that you have access to its settings so that you can update your password, if necessary.
- If you have enabled two-step authentication, then make sure that you still have access to the phone number or authenticator application that you used. Authentication is required as part of the Shopify ID setup process.
- If you have an unverified email address, then you need to验证您的电子邮件before you set up a Shopify ID.
If necessary, you can make changes to staff in your Shopify admin atSettings>Users and permissions.

I only have one store. Does this affect me at all?
Yes, though no action will be required on your part. If you have only one store, then a Shopify ID is created for it automatically. This means that if you add new stores and services in the future, then you can use the same Shopify ID to access them.
If you have one store, but you also use other programs or resources, such as Shopify Partners or Shopify Community, then you are prompted to create a Shopify ID.
How do I know which stores will be accessed by a Shopify ID?
The stores that appear in yourstore switchercan be accessed by using a Shopify ID.

Yes. When you're prompted to set up a Shopify ID, you can exclude stores by clicking...next to the store name. You can then change the email address for the excluded store to a different email address. You can also skip stores for which you cannot complete two-step authentication.

My list is missing a store. How can I add it to a Shopify ID?
If your list is missing a store, that means it’s associate with another email address. After you finish setting up your Shopify ID for your other stores, then you can add a missing store to your Shopify ID.

Will this change my staff permissions?
No. The permissions that you've granted your staff are still granted on a store-by-store basis. The Shopify ID does not grant your staff any additional permissions.

What if more than one staff shares the same account?
Before you remove the shared staff account,create a separate accountfor each active staff. Partners should use acollaborator account.

As part of the Shopify ID setup process, you're prompted to choose a new password for your Shopify store. You'll need to make sure that this is updated in your password manager.
