Shift4shop: Managing Store Staff User and Role-Based Permissions

Starting as a one-person team is feasible for a small eCommerce business, and there have been several prosperous businesses that began that way. However, if you aim for progress, assistance from business partners or hired employees will eventually become necessary. As an online store thrives, it handles more customers, makes more sales, and has more inventory to manage; hence dividing the workload among a team becomes the only option. Nonetheless, who will oversee the online store? Is it possible for multiple individuals to access it?

Shift4Shop provides the flexibility of adding Staff Users with access to specific features on your online store manager. You can customize the access level of each Staff User and the available slots are dependent on your Shift4Shop plan. If you require more Staff Users, you can easily purchase additional seats at any time without having to upgrade your plan.

The platform offers a comprehensive management solution, allowing you to customize your staff user permissions one by one. This ensures that your staff members can access the system according to their respective roles, be it handling orders, modifying products, or having complete administrative control, under your discretion. Through the Staff User Administration feature, you can establish your employees' accounts precisely as required.
