Maximum number of users for each pricing plan

The maximum number of users that you can add to your store or organization depends on your pricing plan. Some user types don't count towards your total number of users.

Considerations for user limitations

Review the following considerations for adding users to your store or organization:

  • Users are available only on the Grow plan and higher.
    • If your store is on either the Basic or Starter plan and require the ability to add users, then you'll need to upgrade to a higher plan such as Grow, Advanced, or Shopify Plus.
  • When you downgrade your pricing plan to a plan with a lower user limit, users over the limit for your new plan will be suspended in the following order:
    1. Pending users, starting with the most recently invited user.
    2. Active users based on their last login date, starting with those who have been inactive for the longest period.
