# How to manage multiple Shopify stores > Manage multiple Shopify stores with the store switcher for stores on one email, an organization for shared staff, and a browser profile per login for the rest. Source: https://mosaicbrowser.com/guides/manage-multiple-shopify-stores ## How to manage multiple Shopify stores To manage multiple Shopify stores, keep stores you own on one email so the store switcher reaches all of them, group them into an organization if they need shared staff and billing, and give every store you reach on a different email its own browser profile. ![Several Shopify stores, one window each, beside a screenshot: six Mosaic profile windows arranged in a grid, each with its own name in the title bar](https://mosaicbrowser.com/covers/manage-multiple-shopify-stores.webp) Managing multiple Shopify stores is mostly a question of which email each store sits on. Stores you own on one address are one Shopify login, and the store switcher moves between them. Grouping them into an organization adds shared staff and one bill. Stores you reach on a different address, such as a client's store or a second company's, need a browser of their own, because Shopify keeps one desktop browser on one account at a time. The rule itself is short. Shopify's terms say "A Store Owner may have multiple Shopify Stores", and each store has one owner ([Shopify Terms of Service](https://www.shopify.com/legal/terms), read 2 November 2026). Mosaic keeps accounts you are entitled to run apart; it does not change what a platform allows. Costs, themes and the other conditions are covered in [can you have multiple stores on Shopify](https://mosaicbrowser.com/guides/can-you-have-multiple-stores-on-shopify). ## Stores on one email: use the store switcher Shopify's own tool is free and already in your admin. The switcher "contains the Shopify stores where you have an account with the same email address", recent ones first ([Switching between stores](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/your-account/logging-in/store-switcher)). 1. Log in to the Shopify admin of any of your stores. 2. Click the store name. On the refreshed admin design the switcher sits in the sidebar rather than the top bar. 3. Pick a recent store, or click **View all** and search by name. If a store is missing, Shopify's first suggestion is to check that your account in that store uses the same email as the others. Frozen, paused and closed stores are left out until they are reactivated. On a phone, add the stores to the Shopify app's list once (tap the store name, then **Add store** or **Edit stores**) and the app switches the same way.

[How it works: Provider minting](https://mosaicbrowser.com/features/proxy-providers) ## Stores that need shared staff: group them into an organization When the same people work across your stores, an organization saves inviting them store by store. On plans below Shopify Plus, the owner groups stores from **Settings > General**, in the **Transfer store** section, by choosing **Move store into a new or existing organization** ([Group a store to an organization](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/your-account/manage-orgs-and-stores/manage-orgs/group-store)). Shopify lets you do this only when you own every store in the group and they all bill in one currency. That currency is fixed once the organization exists, and stores billed in Indian rupees can't be grouped at all. After grouping, payment methods move up to the organization and billing permissions are removed from everyone except the organization owner, so check your staff's roles straight after. Plus merchants manage several stores as expansion stores instead. Staff numbers are set by each store's plan: Starter and Basic allow no staff accounts, Grow 5, Advanced 15 and Plus unlimited. Collaborator accounts for Shopify Partners do not count toward those numbers ([Maximum number of users for each pricing plan](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/your-account/users/users-plan-requirements)). ## Stores on different emails: one browser profile each Here Shopify's tools stop. Its login help is explicit: "You can't log in to multiple accounts on a desktop device, you can only switch between different accounts" ([Log in and out of your Shopify account](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/your-account/logging-in/log-in)). Switching means signing out of one account and into the other, with a two-step code each time if you have it on. A browser profile per account fixes that for free. Each Chrome or Edge profile has its own cookies, so each stays signed in to its own Shopify account and you move between windows instead of logins. Name each profile after the store, and keep that store's order exports in a folder of its own, because a shared downloads folder is where three stores' CSVs get mixed up. The general version of this set-up, with what a browser profile does and does not separate, is in [how to manage multiple accounts on one computer](https://mosaicbrowser.com/guides/manage-multiple-accounts-on-one-computer). ## How to manage multiple Shopify stores in Mosaic A Mosaic profile goes further than a Chrome profile in three ways that matter for stores: each one keeps its own saved logins with their two-step codes, its own downloads folder, and its own fingerprint drawn from real hardware. We built it for sellers and agencies who outgrew a handful of Chrome profiles. 1. Click **New profile** and name it after the store and the login it uses ("Shopify - Northwind, staff"). 2. On the **General** tab, leave the proxy empty. You are running your own stores from your own connection, and Shopify's login troubleshooting asks you to check that a VPN is not blocking Shopify ([Troubleshooting login](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/your-account/logging-in/troubleshooting-login)). A saved [proxy provider](https://mosaicbrowser.com/features/proxy-providers) is there for when you want to look at a storefront from another country. 3. Start the profile and log in to that store's Shopify account. If the account owns several stores on one email, use the switcher inside this profile. 4. In the **Logins** tab, choose **Add login**, then **Two-factor secret or notes**, and paste the secret behind the QR code Shopify shows when you turn on an authenticator app (the base32 key or the whole otpauth:// link). The companion inside the profile then shows the current code. 5. Put the store's myshopify.com address, its plan and who has staff access in the **Notes** tab. 6. Tag every store profile "shopify", so the table filters to your stores in one click. ![The Mosaic profiles table: one row per store, with tags and a Start button on each row](https://mosaicbrowser.com/shots/profiles-list.png) *One row per Shopify login* Each profile's downloads land in its own folder, kept out of Spotlight and deleted with the profile, so a payout report from one store never sits beside another's. Profiles, cookies and proxies stay on your computer; Mosaic has no cloud copy of them. ![The Mosaic companion inside a profile: notes, saved logins and the current two-step code](https://mosaicbrowser.com/shots/companion.png) *The store's code, inside the store's profile* Free is 3 profiles and 10 profile creations, which covers a few stores.

In one desktop browser, not on two different Shopify accounts: Shopify says you can only switch between accounts on desktop. Stores on the same email are one account, so you switch between them with the store switcher. Separate browser profiles let two accounts stay signed in side by side. ### Is there a Shopify dashboard for all my stores? Organizations come closest. Grouped stores share users and settings and are listed on the Organization settings page, and Shopify Plus organizations add multi-store analytics. Each store's own settings, such as payments and shipping, are still changed in that store's admin. ### How many staff can work on each Shopify store? Shopify's user limits are per plan: none on Starter and Basic, 5 on Grow, 15 on Advanced and unlimited on Shopify Plus. Collaborator accounts for Shopify Partners do not count toward the limit. ### Do I need a separate proxy for each Shopify store? Shopify's help pages do not ask for one, and the stores are yours under one owner. Its login troubleshooting even asks you to check that a VPN is not blocking Shopify. A proxy is for viewing a storefront from another country, not for separating your own stores. ## Related [Can you have multiple stores on Shopify?](https://mosaicbrowser.com/guides/can-you-have-multiple-stores-on-shopify): Yes.
