Adding your accountant to your business's Shopify account

Here are instructions on how to provide us with access to your Shopify Account

To add staff members to your Shopify account, simply follow the instructions provided by Shopify.

It's important not to use your accountant's individual email address, as this can cause delays in processing your bookkeeping. Your accountant will provide you with the necessary email address.
