There are two ways to build on OrderProtection:
  • You own the stores. If you’re a merchant/account owner building apps for your own stores, you don’t need an organization — see Creating an App.
  • You build for other merchants. Third-party developers create a developer organization, invite their team, and request collaborator access to each merchant’s store. That’s what this page covers.

​
Create your organization

1

Open the signup form

On the sign-in page, choose Create an organization (or go to /developer/signup).
2

Enter your details

Provide an Organization name and a work email (first and last name are optional), then click Create developer account.
3

Confirm your email

Check your inbox for a confirmation link, set your password, and sign in to your developer dashboard.
Signing up creates a standalone organization account with the developer role. No store is attached yet — your org gains store access through collaborations (below).

​
Invite developers

1

Open your organization

In the dashboard, go to Developer → Organization.
2

Invite a developer

Click Invite developer, enter their first name, last name, and email, then click Send invite.
3

They join the org

The invitee receives an email to set their password and join your organization.
Every member of the org shares its apps and store access. When a collaboration is approved, all current members gain access to that store, and anyone you invite later inherits it automatically.

​
Get access to a merchant’s store

A collaboration is how your organization gains access to a merchant’s store so you can install and manage your app there. The developer requests it; the merchant approves it.

​
Request access (developer)

1

Open Collaborations

Go to Developer → Collaborations.
2

Request store access

Under Request store access, enter the merchant’s store domain (e.g., acme.myshopify.com) and click Request access.
3

Share the approval code

We generate a short approval code. Share it with the merchant so they can verify and approve your request.
The request shows as Pending until the merchant acts on it.

​
Approve the request (merchant)

The merchant approves from their own dashboard:
1

Open Collaborators

Go to Settings → Collaborators.
2

Approve the pending request

Under Pending requests, find the organization (match the approval code you were given) and click Approve (or Decline).
Once approved, your org is granted collaborator access to that store. Sign out and back in to load the store into your account — you can then install your app on it from the Marketplace.
Collaborator access is intentionally limited — manage widgets and customizations, read store settings, and install/manage apps. It does not include claims, orders, products, billing, or team management. Either side can revoke a collaboration at any time (the merchant under Settings → Collaborators; the org under Developer → Collaborations).

​
Building for your own stores instead?

If your OrderProtection account already owns the stores you’re building for, you don’t use organizations or collaborations — the Organization and Collaborations sections won’t appear for you. Build a private app and install it on your own store directly, and grant teammates access via Team Members.
