How to manage multiple accounts on one platform without logging out?

Platforms like Etsy and Shopify require separate logins for each storefront, forcing people to juggle multiple browsers, incognito windows, or constant password re-entry. This makes it impossible to check stores simultaneously or switch between accounts smoothly, turning basic daily management into a frustrating chore.

What people tried

Every workaround mentioned in the threads below. We haven’t tested any of them — and nobody here is claiming they worked.

  1. 1
    Switching between accounts separately in the browser or app using different email addresses

  3. 3
    Using a completely different web browser (like Firefox) for each separate online store
