How to Transfer Store Ownership in SureCart

Transferring store ownership in SureCart lets you give full control of your store to someone else. 

This is helpful if you sell your business, stop managing the store, or want to make someone else the owner. For example, if you sell your online store, you can quickly transfer everything to the new owner. 

In this article, we’ll show you how to add the new owner as a team member and then transfer the store to them in a few easy steps.

Add the New Owner as a Team Member

Before you can transfer ownership, you need to invite the person as a team member in your SureCart store.

• Go to the SureCart platform and select the desired store.
• Select Team from the settings menu.
• Go to Invites and click on the “New Invites” button.
• Enter the person’s name, email address, and assign them the necessary roles, such as Admin or Developer. This gives them the correct permissions to manage the store.
• Click the “Send Invite” button.

Once you send the invitation, the new owner will receive an email. They need to accept the invite and join the store as a team member.

Transfer Store Ownership

After the person has accepted the team member invite, you can transfer the store ownership to them. To do this:

• Go to Team > Team Members. You should see the new team member added here.

• Click on their name and click the “Transfer Store” button here.

• Next, you need to confirm the transfer in the dialog box that appears.

Note: Once you transfer ownership, you’ll no longer have control over the store unless the new owner permits you again.

Your store ownership has now been successfully transferred to the desired team member. You should see “Yes” next to the new owner here.
