Providing collaborative access

SEMA support staff may require access to your Shopify or BigCommerce store to help troubleshoot certain issues. This guide provides instructions on how to grant collaborative access to your Shopify account or how to create a BigCommerce user account.

Shopify collaborative access request

You can grant collaborative access to a SEMA support agent to help troubleshoot an issue. Collaborators do not count towards your store’s staff limit.

  1. Provide your shopify store URL to your SEMA support agent. e.g.  sema-search.myshopify.com
  2. Accept the incoming email request that will be sent to you by your SEMA support agent.
  3. Click View request. You will be presented with a list of permissions. Leaving them all checked allows SEMA to provide the most comprehensive level of support to troubleshoot your issue.
  4. Click Accept request. After accepting the request, your SEMA support agent will be able to access the necessary areas within your Shopify Admin.
