Invalid topic specified: locations/create. Does it exist? Is there a missing access scope?

Shopify Apps

Topic summary

Issue: Registering a Shopify webhook for the topic “locations/create” fails with the error “Invalid topic specified.” The app already requests the read_locations access scope.

Details: The error message lists all allowed webhook topics, and “locations/create” is not included. The list contains many order, product, inventory, fulfillment, and company-related topics, but nothing for locations events. A full list of permitted topics was included in the error output (code snippet), implying the platform is not accepting “locations/create” as a valid topic.

Status: Unresolved. The poster asks whether the topic exists or if an additional/missing access scope is required.

Notes: “Webhook” = event notification endpoint; “access scope” (read_locations) = permission to read Locations resource. No decisions or fixes were provided in the thread.
