Security & Access

Access Scope

Can read and modify Shopify store data based on configured API scopes (products, orders, customers, inventory, etc.)

  • Access token grants full access to all configured API scopes
  • Never commit access tokens to version control
  • Store credentials in shell config files, not in project files
  • Only request minimum required scopes for your use case
  • Access token is only shown once when created - save it immediately
  • Rotate tokens periodically by uninstalling and reinstalling the custom app

Limitations

  • REST API is considered legacy as of October 2024 (GraphQL is preferred for new apps)
  • Each API version is supported for minimum 12 months
  • Some advanced features may only be available in GraphQL API
  • Trial and Partner development stores limited to 5 orders per minute creation
