Hi.
I’m having issues with the edit theme API:
https:///admin/api/2024-10/themes//assets.json
I know that in order to use this API I need an exemption from Shopify for the write_themes scope, which has already been granted to my App.
My customer authentication logic for installing the App looks pretty much like this:
const accessScopes = 'read_themes,write_themes,read_products,read_customers,read_fulfillments,read_orders';
const endpoint = `https://${shop}/admin/oauth/authorize?client_id=${clientId}&scope=${accessScopes}&redirect_uri=${redirectUri}`;
return res.redirect(endpoint);
However, it seems like the auth token I generate with the code doesn’t have the write_themes scope.
When I try editing the theme I get this error:
{
"errors": "[API] This action requires merchant approval for write_themes scope."
}
I investigated even further, using a OAUTH debugging tool.
Then I used the code returned to generate a token via Postman, I get this result:
{
"access_token": "...",
"scope": "read_customers,read_fulfillments,read_orders,read_products,read_themes"
}
So the write_themes scope is not included.
My app is already published on the app store, I see in the configs that the write_themes scope is not listed. My app is some legacy express app which doesn’t have a TOML file, so how can I edit these scopes on the dashboard? I don’t see the option.
Shopify team claims I have the right access
Any help is much appreciated, I need to get this sorted asap.
Thank you in advance.
