Getting support as a Shopify Partner

As a Shopify Partner, you have access to Shopify Support and self-serve support resources 24/7.

You can review the documentation in the Help Center or on shopify.dev to learn more about Shopify. You can also chat with the AI assistants on either site. The Shopify.dev assistant can help with code and troubleshooting code issues, or even help understand the process of submitting your app to the Shopify App Store or your theme to the Shopify Theme Store.

The Help Center's AI search can help with your questions about the Partner Program, growing your business, adding team members, or your financial setup.

When you contact Shopify Support, you're routed to the type of support that you need, such as support for your Partner account, a merchant's store, Plus and Enterprise stores, or API and code.

You can also use the Shopify community for partners and developers to ask technical questions about building with Shopify's APIs and using the developer platform.

Best practices for working with Shopify Support

When contacting Shopify Support, be sure to reach out from the Partner Account pertaining to your inquiry if you have more than one Partner Account. Ensure your account has proper team setting permissions. If you have limited permissions for the area of the Partner Dashboard that you’re inquiring about, then you’ll either need to request additional permissions from the Owner on the Partner Account or have a different team member with the appropriate permissions contact Shopify Support..

When contacting Shopify Support about a specific store, ensure you have collaborator account access for the store.

Review the following best practices:

  • Include a clear description of the issue or request.
  • Include details such as screenshots, screencasts, steps to reproduce issues, and any other relevant information.
  • Share any relevant links to Help Center pages, Community forum posts, or Shopify.dev pages that you’ve reviewed.
  • For email, include a clear email subject line that represents your issue to help prioritize and triage your email.
