When you’re starting a business, one of the most important things you can do is hire the right people. Unfortunately, this can be especially difficult when it comes to finding the right talent for your ecommerce store. In this blog post, we will teach you how to add a staff member to your Shopify store without any prior experience. By following our simple steps, you will be able to add the right employee for your business and get them up and running as quickly as possible.
Requirements for Staff Members
If you are looking to add a staff member to your Shopify store, there are a few requirements that must be met. Staff members are responsible for taking care of customer orders, handling sales, and providing support for the customers.
In order to be approved as a staff member on Shopify, you will need to have an active account with Shopify and meet the following requirements:
Have a valid email address
have created an account on Shopify at least 30 days ago
Possess a valid credit card or debit card
Pass a background check (optional)
How to Add a Staff Member to Shopify
Adding a staff member to your Shopify store can be beneficial in a variety of ways. Not only can they help with the day-to-day operations of your store, but they can also provide valuable input and feedback that can help you improve your product offerings and customer service.
Here are five steps to adding a staff member to your Shopify store:
1. Set Up Your Staff Profile
First, you’ll need to set up your staff profile. This will allow you to manage their access privileges, track their hours worked, and create job descriptions. You’ll also need to decide who will manage the profile and update it when new information is added or changes are made.
2. Approve Access Privileges
Next, you’ll need to approve access privileges for your staff member(s). This will determine which items their profile has access to (such as pricing data and product listings), as well as what areas they are allowed to comment on (such as blog posts). You should also specify how long they have access for after the initial approval period is over (typically six months).
3. Assign Work Hours &Track Hours Worked
To track their hours worked, you’ll need to set up a work schedule for them and assign them specific hours each day. You should also set up quotas so that they don’t work more than 40 hours per week without appropriate approval. If their work schedule changes, you should automatically update their hours worked.
4. Manage Orders & Respond to Customers
Once your staff member has been approved and assigned work hours, they are ready to start taking care of orders and responding to customer inquiries. You can manage their orders by viewing their current order status, placing new orders, and canceling orders. You can also respond to customer inquiries by email, chat, or phone.
5. Measure Results & Make Course Corrections
To measure the success of your staff member(s), you’ll need to track their performance metrics (such as sales and customer satisfaction). You can do this by setting up goals and tracking progress over time. If you notice that their performance is falling below expectations, you may need to make course corrections (such as training them on new skills or assigning different tasks).
Conclusion
If you’re looking to add a staff member to your Shopify store, there are several things to keep in mind. First, make sure that you have an open position for them and then start the recruitment process by posting an ad on Craigslist or other job sites. Once you’ve found a potential employee, it’s time to start the onboarding process. This involves completing a set of requirements and training sessions before they can begin working full-time. Be sure to document everything so that you have proof that you followed all the necessary steps!
