Commands attempted:

  • shopify theme dev --store {storename}
  • shopify theme pull --store {storename}
  • shopify login {storename}

I just want to access my Shopify store and Partner account using the CLI. I have accessed my store multiple times before using the CLI, but this is the first time I’m encountering this error. Since I’m the store owner, I should have access.

Here are the commands I tried:

  • shopify theme dev --store {storename}
  • shopify theme pull --store {storename}
  • shopify login {storename}
