If yo don't want to upgrade from the Basic Shopify plan but still want multiple blog authors, you have a few workarounds:

1. Use a single account approach

   • Continue using only your store owner account
   • Have contributors email you their content
   • Manually post their content under your account
   • Include the author's name in the blog post content or title

2. Use a byline system

   • Create a standard format like "Guest post by [Name]" at the beginning of posts
   • Add author information and bio at the end of each post
   • This maintains the appearance of multiple authors while using only your account

3. Consider third-party blogging platforms

   • Use platforms like WordPress, Medium, or Ghost for your blog
   • Link to these platforms from your Shopify store
   • These platforms offer more flexible author management

4. Explore Shopify apps

   • Check the Shopify App Store for blog management apps
   • Some may offer workarounds for author management on Basic plans

The Basic Shopify plan specifically excludes staff accounts as a feature, so there's no official way to add multiple author accounts without upgrading
