I can't install my app in development store

Shopify Apps

Topic summary

App installation in a development store fails with an OAuth error: invalid_scope for write_payment_session.

  • Cause: The requested permission (scope) appears to be unsupported/limited in the development store environment, triggering invalid_scope.
  • Key terms: OAuth is an authorization protocol; “scope” defines the specific permissions an app requests from the store.
  • Recommended action: Review Shopify’s Access Scopes documentation to verify which scopes are available and remove or replace unsupported scopes like write_payment_session.
  • Reference: A screenshot was mentioned, and a link to the Shopify API Access scopes page was provided for confirmation.
  • Status: No confirmed resolution yet; the next step is to adjust the app’s scopes according to the supported list for development stores.
