App reviews, troubleshooting, and recommendations
Hello,
After each of my attempt to login, it keeps saying that 'Unable to authorize access to the specified shop.'
How can i fix that?
Hi, @AlinaKu!
This is Rae from Shopify. Welcome to the Community!
I'm happy to take a closer look into this, and help make sure you can get logged in to your app correctly.
Are you using the Shopify mobile app, or the Shopify POS app? Also, which device are you using the app on?
When logging in to either app, it's important to confirm these details:
I also recommend updating the app, as well as the software on your device. On an iOS device, you can do this by following these steps, and these steps. Equally, these steps will help update the app on an Android, and the software can be updated by following these steps.
If you're still running into troubles, just reply back to me here with a screenshot of the exact error you're receiving. Before sharing this image here though, please make sure all of your sensitive, store-specific details are blocked out of the screenshot to protect your own privacy.
I look forward to hearing back from you with an update on how this all goes!

Hello, there!
I'm having the same problem here!
I'm trying to add an app from the store and every time I try it gives me this message in return "Unable to authorize access to the specified shop." I'm doing it on the browser so there isn't anything to update... I don't know what else to do.
Thanks for your help!
Hi, @RemeiGG!
Thanks for joining this thread, and letting us know about the troubles you're running into.
To clarify, does this error only appear when you're trying to add an app? When you log in via this link, do you still see the error?
If so, I recommend clearing your browser cache, or using Chrome Incognito mode to access your Shopify admin and add the app to your account. This will help resolve things if the error is cached on your device. It's also important to make sure you're using a supported browser whenever you access Shopify from your end.
You mentioned that you're using a browser to view your admin, but can you please confirm which device you're using? Have you tried this out on a mobile device, as well as a desktop, to see if the same error occurs on multiple devices?
Let me know if the above steps help resolve things on your end! However, if you continue to run into this issue, please reply back to me here with a screenshot of the error you're seeing so I can help look into this further.

Hi, I’m receiving the same error when I try to d/load an app. It says unable to authorize access. I’ve tried it on my computer using chrome and edge. I’ve tried incognito mode, cleared my cache. Tried it on my iPhone 11 in safari and in the app. Same. What next?
thnx

Hi, @Dxcellent!
Thanks for letting me know. I appreciate you trying all of those troubleshooting steps!
Does this issue occur when you try to download multiple apps, or just one specific app? If it's happening with one particular app, please let me know which one.
Additionally, are you the store owner, or are you using a staff account instead? If you're a staff member, this may be related to permissions, where only the store owner has the correct access to download apps. This help document provides more details on this.
However, if you can please share a screenshot of the exact error you're receiving, I can help look into this further.
I hope to hear back from you soon!

Hi Rae,
I am having the same issue and have tried all of your troubleshooting suggestions. I'm still receiving this error message any time I try to log into the Shopify App Store. I tried logging in through the link you provided in an earlier post and I am able to log in using that one. Just not through the App Store.
Any suggestions?
Thank you!

Hi, @Inga2!
Thanks for reaching out.
Are you using a Partner account and creating a development store for your client? Or, are you working on a client's store via your own staff account on that store?
If you're using a staff account, it's important to make sure you have the correct permissions needed to download apps. Check out this help document for more details on this.
Can you also please provide me with a screenshot of the exact error message you're seeing? This will help me determine where this error is coming from.
I'm happy to help further once I have the above details!

I figured out that I was signed into my Shopify account but I was somehow not registered with a username for the Community section with Apps. Somehow that worked and I got to install me app.
