Transferring development stores to the clients with Shopify Partners dashboard

Transferring the development store to the client is important after you finish working on it and you must do it only after everything is done and you believe that the store has become a selling machine now. Let us take a glance at the required steps:

1. Once again, visit the Partner Login page and login with your account.
   
   
2. Navigate to stores and then transfer ownership. There you will see a list of members who are eligible for getting ownership. If you haven't added any, then do it by clicking on "add a staff account" dialogue.
   
   
3. After you’ve selected the new owner, click on the transfer store button and you’re done.
   
   

And that's how a development store is transferred. The new owner of the store will receive an instructional email that will contain details about creating an account and buying a plan. The store will be in a paused state unless the new owner accepts the offer.

You will start getting your share of revenue once your client starts paying for the Shopify’s plan.
