Your Store Tools requires certain permissions, or OAuth scopes, to be set in order to for our tools to communicate and function properly with your store.
Various permission levels are required for all apps and tools built by all 3rd party developers that connect to BigCommerce and utilize the platform’s multiple APIs to carry out the app or tool’s intended functions.
