Why does Glopal require a collaborator access to your Shopify store? – Glopal Help

In order for your store to be able to communicate with Glopal Marketing Solutions, a Shopify Partner, and, in consequence, for us to set up your international sites and Shopping campaigns, a Shopify Custom App needs to be set up in your backend.

Our App allows us to fetch the catalog to classify and localize items, get cart content and shipping options, as well as push orders to your backend.

To increase your international buyers' conversion rate, it is important to provide the localized experience all the way to the checkout. That's why we need to have a deep integration with your checkout. This in turns requires custom development which can only be done with a private app.

All the third party providers who enhance the checkout experience need to create private app. The required level of complexity and integration is not available via the public app marketplace.

To make the onboarding process smooth, Glopal will create the Custom App on your behalf through our trusted Shopify Partner account. We will be able to do it only if you accept a collaborator request we will send your way.

Please bear in mind that we need the full list of permissions in order to be able to install the plugin with full access to your store.

This is due to the nature of the way the plugin functions later on once the international versions of your store are live and how international orders get processed.

Additionally, we also have to take into account Shopify adding/changing features in your backend which could potentially break the plugin connection later.

We only need the full level of collaborator access for the duration of installing the plugin in the "Custom Apps" section in your backend.

Once we complete the plugin installation, you can remove our access in order to keep a secure level of access within your store.

A collaborator account doesn’t count toward your store’s staff account limit.
