Hello everyone. I am reposting my question on this community forum. I am experiencing this error: “Oauth error missing_shopify_permission: read_marketplace_orders” as I run my app on the testing store. Two days ago everything worked just fine. I haven’t modified scopes in any way so how can I solve this issue?

HI @mattfrat you may be best to contact our support team directly so they can authenticate your store and app and review the scopes that are listed.
