Q: Shopify businesses- API- Access
Hello,
I offer services to Shopify businesses. It is possible I can offer this to them as a bonus to upload their products but where they do it themselves? How will this work? Do I still keep full control if they don’t want my services anymore? Can they add their own API key ?
Thanks!

1. Each client gets their own copy of the spreadsheet since it's a Google Apps Script tool
2. They can use their own Shopify API credentials in the Settings sheet
3. You maintain control by:
# Only sharing a copy of the spreadsheet (not the original)
# Each client's instance is separate and independent
# They can't access other clients' data
# If they stop using your services, they keep their copy but can't get updates
The tool is designed to work with individual API keys, so clients can:
# Add their own Shopify API credentials
# Manage their own products/content
# Use it independently after setup
This makes it a great value-add for your services while maintaining proper separation between clients.
Pro tip: You could offer initial setup and training as part of your service package, then let clients operate it independently.

Can they also add their own openAI key?
Absolutely. This will be a dedicated sheet, so users can add their own OpenAI API Key.
