Shopify: read-only access to orders and customers
About 5 minutes. Needs the store owner or a staff member who can manage users.
Pick one. Collaborator access is cleanest: no staff seat, removed in one click.
- Collaborator access (recommended). In Shopify admin, go to Settings, then Users, and find Collaborators. Copy the 4-digit collaborator request code and send it to us. We send a request for view access to orders, customers and reports; you approve it.
- A staff account. Add a staff member with our operator's email and only View orders, View customers and Reports (Shopify calls them Analytics on some plans) switched on.

A Slack Connect channel
About 2 minutes.
Create a channel (for example #growth-engine-brandname), click the channel name, choose Share channel (Slack Connect), and invite our operator's email. Or accept the invite we send you. If your workspace is on Slack's free plan, accept ours: we host the channel.

A creator inbox
About 15 minutes, mostly for whoever runs the domain.
Pick a mailbox for creator outreach: a new address on the brand's domain (like creators@brand.com) or a sending subdomain (like hello@creators.brand.com), which keeps outreach away from the brand's main mail. White-label partners can use the agency's domain instead.
We send the three DNS records (SPF, DKIM and DMARC: the records that prove mail really comes from that domain) to whoever manages it.

What we never do
Humans keep the switches
Agents upload ads paused and draft messages. A person on your side approves and turns things on.
