Permissions

OAuth scopes requested

These are the access permissions this app asks for during install. The sensitivity column reflects PII exposure and merchant impact.

read_products
Low

Required to list products eligible for promotional offers, BOGO, bundles, volume discounts.

write_products
Medium

Likely needed to attach discount metadata or create promo product variants; write access to catalog increases blast radius if compromised.

read_orders
Medium

Reads customer order history to evaluate offer conditions and post-purchase upsells; exposes PII.

write_discounts
High

Creating/modifying discount codes is high-impact: a compromised token could issue arbitrary discounts causing direct revenue loss.

read_customers
Medium

Customer segmentation for exclusive promotions requires reading customer records (PII).

read_themes / write_script_tags
High

Storefront promo widgets and upsell UI typically require theme/script injection - script tags execute on storefront pages and can read shopper data.
