Required Shopify permissions (OAUTH access scopes) for Ablestar Bulk Product Editor
When you install Ablestar Bulk Product Editor, Shopify will display a screen like this to grant our app permissions to access your store data:
Summary
In order for the app to function it needs to be able to read certain data from Shopify as well as write data to Shopify (for example, to update the prices). The app requests the minimum permissions necessary for the functionality to read product data, primarily the read_fulfillmentspermission, detailed below.
Ablestar Bulk Product Editor does not read order information or customer information. It cannot see the number of orders you store processes or information about any customers.
Shopify also encourages apps to use a "managed installation" process which optimizes the load time for an app.
One side-effect of this installation is that all stores using the app need to have the same permissions. In other words, even if your store does not use Shopify Markets, you will still need to accept the read_markets permission when you install the app.
List of Requested Permissions
The following table lists each permission the app requires and why it is needed.
| Permission | Why it is required |
|---|---|
read_products , write_products |
So the app can see and update standard product fields like prices, tags and product descriptions. |
read_inventory , write_inventory |
Allows the app to read and update inventory levels across different locations. |
read_markets , write_markets |
Makes it so you can update price lists across your different markets. |
read_fulfillments |
This is necessary to see which fulfillment services a store offers. This way you can edit the fulfillment service of a product. The permission can be confusing because it makes it look like the app has the ability to read orders, which is does not. |
read_metaobjects , write_metaobjects , read_metaobject_definitions , write_metaobject_definitions |
Needed for managing metaobjects and bulk editing metaobject reference metafields. |
read_publications , write_publications |
Allows you to edit the visibility of products on Shopify POS |
read_locations |
Permits the app to view the list of locations for your store, this is required for managing inventory. |
