How to Login to Shopify Directly

There are three easy-peasy ways for you to login to Shopify store: Website, Admin page, or Mobile app.

Before going any further, here's a quick recap of all the steps:

• Step 1: Open the Shopify website, Shopify admin page, or Shopify App.
• Step 2: Enter your email address and password.
• Step 3: Click on “Log In”.
• Step 4: Pick a store linked to your account.
• Step 5: Kickstart your business with the Shopify Dashboard.

Login to your Shopify admin via website

To begin with, go to shopify.com and click Log in.

Then, enter your email address associated with your store. Or else, you can use other Shopify sign in services, such as Apple, Facebook, and Google accounts. On top of that, you can also sign in to Shopify with a passkey.

Shopify login with email

Firstly, enter the email you used to register for Shopify account.

Continue filling in your password to login to Shopify store. If you've enabled two-factor authentication for your Shopify account, input the authentication code and then click the Log in button:

Shopify sign in with passkey

If you want to login to Shopify by this method, you can either use a device or a USB that saved your store’s passkey. (You can’t use this method if you have not created a passkey yet).

1. Using a device
   In case you have previously saved your store’s passkey in a device like iPhone, iPad or Android device, scan the QR on your screen.

   

   After that, you can use your new device to login to your Shopify account.

   

2. Using the USB
   To login by this method, you have to plug the USB that has the passkey into your computer.

   

And that’s it. You can now access your Shopify admin panel easily.

How to login to Shopify via admin page

To login to Shopify through your admin page, go to the URL of your store, which is followed by “/admin”.
For example: https://yourstore.com/admin/

After that, fill in the login information.

Then, choose the store you want to login.

Login to your Shopify admin through Shopify Mobile App

The great thing about Shopify is that you can manage your eCommerce business anywhere. They developed both website and app versions so that merchants can keep track of their stores seamlessly.

It's not so much different from the website; you only need a few minutes to login to the Shopify app. However, it’s apparent that you must install the Shopify App on your mobile device.

When opening the Shopify mobile app, you can quickly notice the Log in button.

If you are using an iPhone or iPad, you’ll need to verify one more time by clicking on Continue.

After that, the system will navigate you directly to the Shopify login with email page. To login to Shopify successfully, either type in your email address linked with your account or use one of the other accepted login methods.

After entering your password, tap the Log in button. If you are using two-factor authentication, you have to fill in the code before selecting Log in.

If your Shopify account connects to more than one store, you will be prompted to choose the one you'd want to use here.

How to Login to Shopify Partner Dashboard

If you’ve signed up to be a part of the Shopify partner program, below are the steps on how to Shopify partner login:

Open a new tab go to Shopify Login Page, select Shopify Partners.

Enter your email address and select Continue with email.

Provide your password, click on Log in and you can now access your Shopify Partners Dashboard.

How to Login to Shopify as a Customer

Not only merchants but customers can also log in to Shopify to see their purchase history, shipping address, and account profile with ease.

There are two types of customer accounts: classic and new. The only difference between them is that the new customer account can use the one-time six-digit code sent to their email instead of the traditional password when performing the classic Shopify customer login.

Shopify also allows you to manually add customers using the Customers > Add Customer menu option.

Additionally, you can sent customer invitation via the admin panel (Settings > Notifications > Customers > Customer account invite page.)

In the following part of this article, we'll show you some activities you should note after sign in to your Shopify account.

Other Activities You Should Consider After Login to Shopify

Reset Shopify account password

You might need to reset the Shopify store login password if you have forgotten or want to enhance your account's security. For store owners, Shopify allows you to change your and your staff’s passwords.

Using Shopify website

Go to the website accounts.shopify.com, and enter your email as usual. Click on Continue with email > Forgot Password?.

Fill in the email address that you use when login to Shopify, then click Reset Password.

At this step, Shopify will send you an email with a password reset link included. Open the email and select Reset Password.

Then, enter a new password to your Shopify seller login account. Once you’re done, hover the mouse over the Reset Password button.

Now, you’ll be able to login to Shopify with your new password.

Next, we’ll show you how to reset password using the Shopify app.

Using Shopify mobile app

Similarly, resetting passwords on Shopify mobile app starts by selecting Forgot Password? on the login screen.

Enter your email address and click Reset Password to receive the password reset email from Shopify.

After that, the system will navigate you to a website where online merchants can enter their new password.

That's how you can reset Shopify account password using Shopify mobile app.

Set up Shopify ID

A Shopify ID consists of your email address and a password. All Shopify stores, apps, and features you have permission to use are accessible via your Shopify ID.

It’s worth noting that a Shopify ID is associated with a certain person, not a specific store. Therefore, it is required for all user to create their unique Shopify ID in order to gain access to the stores, Shopify Learn, Partner Dashboard, and even the Shopify Community.

In the following lines, we'll guide you through steps to prepare and set up Shopify ID.

Preparation

Before starting, remember that you can only create a Shopify ID using the same email address for all your stores, apps, and resources. Besides, switching back to individual logins or removing a business from the Shopify ID is also difficult once you create a Shopify ID. Thus, my advice is that you should check your account settings to see which email address is linked to each store to ensure you are on the right track.

There are a few tips and tricks you should take a look at beforehand:

• Change the email address for stores for which you want to set up a separate Shopify ID. Before doing so, double-check your store list from the store switcher.
• Send an invitation to your employees about creating their unique Shopify ID. Since all of your stores are synchronized under the same Shopify ID, each of your staff should have their own to ensure the safety of your business.
• Ensure your access to the Password Manager so you can update the passwords if needed.
• Review your access to the authenticator application or phone number if you’ve activated two-factor authentication.
• Validate your email address before creating a Shopify ID.

Create Shopify ID

Here comes the most important part: setting up your ID. Follow our steps closely to avoid getting lost along the way:

• Login to Shopify using the same email address for your multi-store management.
• Review the stores and services connected to this new Shopify ID.
• Choose “Shopify ID Setup”.
• Type in your current password. You must first authorize these stores if the two-factor authentication has been enabled.
• Create a new password. You can access all your stores connected to this Shopify ID with only this email address and password.

Once you've completed these steps, you may use the Shopify ID to login to Shopify stores, apps, and features.
