Collaborator access

This page shows you how to connect Shopify Partners in Relay and where to find the one cookie Relay needs for collaborator access requests.

Minimum requirements

• At least one Relay app already created
• Your Shopify Partner Organization ID
• The Shopify Partners session token, if Relay should request collaborator access for you

Connect the partner account

Go to Settings → Partners.

Add:

• Partner Organization ID
• the app or apps this partner account should manage

One app can belong to only one partner account.

Where to copy the cookie from

The session token Relay expects is the Shopify Partners cookie named _partners_session.

Copy it from:

1. Open partners.shopify.com while signed in.
2. Open browser DevTools.
3. Go to Application.
4. Go to Cookies.
5. Select partners.shopify.com.
6. Copy the value of _partners_session.

Paste only that value into Settings → Partners → Session token.

Relay treats this token as optional unless you want collaborator access requests.

Associate apps and defaults

After the partner account is connected:

1. Select which Relay apps this partner account owns.
2. Open Default access for each app if you want preset collaborator permissions.
3. Optionally save a default request message.

Notes

• If the session token expires, update it in the same Settings → Partners screen.
• The current UI copy treats the token as valid for about one year.
