As your business grows, you'll want teammates helping run your stores — but not everyone needs full access to everything. Drip Merch lets you assign people to specific storefronts with a role and fine-grained permissions. This article shows you how.
Open Storefront Assignment
- Go to Settings in the dashboard.
- Open Storefront Assignment.
- You'll see your storefronts and the members assigned to each, along with a count of total assignments.
Assign a User to a Storefront
- Find the storefront you want to add someone to.
- Choose to assign a user.
- Enter the person's email address.
- Pick a role that matches how much access they need.
- Confirm to send the invite. If the person hasn't accepted yet, the assignment shows as a pending invite.
Understand the Roles
Each role comes with a sensible set of default permissions:
- Admin — full access to all storefront features.
- Manager — manage orders and products and view analytics, without managing customers, discounts, or settings.
- Editor — edit products and storefront content, including pages and navigation.
- Viewer — view-only access to orders, customers, and analytics.
Fine-Tune Permissions
If a role isn't an exact fit, you can customize permissions per member. Permissions are grouped so they're easy to reason about:
- Orders & Sales — view and manage orders.
- Products — view and manage products.
- Customers — view and manage customers.
- Analytics — view analytics.
- Discounts — view and manage discounts.
- Content — edit pages and navigation.
- Settings — edit storefront settings.
Open a member's permissions to toggle them.
only the view permissions are enforced. View orders, view products, view customers, view analytics and edit settings decide which items appear in that storefront's dashboard and are also checked when the orders and customers lists load. The manage and edit permissions — manage orders, manage products, manage customers, manage discounts, view discounts, edit pages, edit navigation — are saved but never checked anywhere. Turning one off does not prevent the action.
Manage Invites and Access
- Resend Invite if a teammate hasn't accepted yet.
- Storefront Permissions to change what they can see.
- Remove Access to take the storefront away from them.
There is no deactivate action. The Active or Inactive badge on a row is a display only. Remove Access is the only way to withdraw access, and it deletes the assignment rather than suspending it.
Why This Matters
Scoped access keeps each store secure: people only touch the stores and features they're responsible for. You stay in control while your team gets exactly what they need.
