Who runs several Shopify accounts
- Agencies building and managing stores for clients
- Merchants with a store per brand or market
- Developers who test several stores and themes
What goes wrong in a single browser
A normal browser keeps one set of cookies and one device identity for everything you open in it. With several stores open in one browser, logins and saved sessions share one cookie store, and it is easy to change the wrong store.
Our beginner’s guide to managing multiple accounts explains the problem in more detail.
How VANE keeps your Shopify accounts apart
One profile per account
Each Shopify account lives in its own profile, with its own cookies and storage. Nothing is shared between profiles.
Its own network address
Give a profile its own HTTP or SOCKS5 proxy and test it before you open the browser.
Details that agree
Time zone and language follow the profile’s country, so the address, the clock and the language tell the same story.
Set up once, reopen any time
A profile keeps its cookies and settings between sessions. You open it and carry on.
Check Shopify’s rules first
Whether you may run more than one Shopify account, and how, is set by Shopify, not by your browser. Read Shopify’s Terms of Service before you start, and follow them. Breaking a platform’s rules can lead to accounts being closed, whatever tool you use.
Shopify offers staff accounts and collaborator access, so agencies can work in a store with their own login.
Questions about Shopify and VANE
Can I use more than one Shopify account?
That depends on Shopify’s own rules, which can change. Read its terms and policies before you open or manage more than one account, and follow them. VANE is a browser: it keeps your accounts organised and separate, and it does not change what Shopify allows.
Does VANE log in to Shopify for me?
No. VANE is a browser. You sign in yourself, in a profile of your own, and the cookies stay in that profile.
Do I need a separate proxy for each Shopify profile?
If you do not want accounts linked by network address, give each profile its own address, in the region that matches the account, and check your proxy provider’s rules too. Our guide to SOCKS5 and HTTP proxies explains the options.
How can I check a profile before I use it for Shopify?
Run it through free test pages for fingerprint, WebRTC and DNS leaks. Our guides explain what each test shows and how to read it.
