Why am I being asked to select a store owner?

Some Yahoo! Store accounts (merchants who signed up before 09/2003) have multiple users with administrator access, but do not have a store owner assigned. With the launch of Access Manager, which replaces the former "Access" page, a store owner must now be identified.

Administrators of Yahoo! Store accounts without an assigned owner will receive an email notice of owner selection for the store account being required. A notice asking administrators to select a store owner also appears in Store Manager for stores without an assigned owner.

To select a store owner:

  1. In Store Manager, click the "Access" link, located in the Site Settings column.
  2. Select the store owner's Yahoo! ID from the drop-down list.
  3. Click the "Set Owner" button.

Upon selecting an owner, all recipients of this notice will be notified that store ownership has been assigned.

Note: Once a store owner is selected, the user making the selection cannot change or reset the store owner. To request that store ownership be reset, please contact us.
