This guide will walk you through the process of adding the Atomix team to your Shopify store and granting them the necessary permissions to install and develop apps for your business.

What You'll Need

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Access User Permissions in Shopify

  1. Log in to your Shopify admin panel

  2. Click on Settings in the bottom left corner

  3. Select Users and permissions from the settings menu

2. Add the Atomix Team Account

  1. In the Users and permissions section, click the Add user button

  2. Enter the Atomix team email: [email protected]

  3. Choose the appropriate staff role:

    • Select an existing role with app management permissions, or

    • Create a new staff role specifically for Atomix (recommended)

3. Create a Custom Staff Role for Atomix (If Needed)

  1. Click on Add a custom role

  2. Name the role (e.g., "Atomix Developer")

  3. Under the Apps and sales channels section, you have two options:
    ​ Option A: Grant Full App Access (Recommended)
    ​
    ​

    • Enable Manage and install apps and channels

    • Enable Approve app charges

  4. This option allows Atomix to:

    • Install new apps and manage existing ones

    • Add, access, or delete apps and channels

    • Access any new apps installed in the future

    • Install additional themes from the Shopify Theme Store

    • Approve any charges associated with apps they install

  5. Option B: Grant Specific App Access

    • Instead of full access, you can check specific apps and sales channels

    • Note: With this option, Atomix cannot install or delete apps

    • You will need to update permissions whenever you want Atomix to access newly installed apps

  6. Configure any other permissions as needed (for Store content, Products, etc.)

  7. Click Save to create the role

4. Send the Invitation

  1. After selecting or creating the appropriate role, click Send invite

  2. The Atomix team will receive an email invitation to join your store

  3. Once they accept, they'll have access according to the permissions you've granted

Important Notes

  • The "Manage and install apps and channels" permission is necessary for Atomix to properly develop and test custom apps for your store

  • The "Approve app charges" permission is required if Atomix needs to install paid apps or themes with associated costs

  • For security, consider limiting other permissions not related to app development

  • You can modify Atomix's permissions at any time by returning to Settings → Users and permissions
