How to update access scopes for your Shopify App

If you’re building a Shopify app powered by Remix and you want to update the access scopes on your app there are a few specific steps to take that I haven’t found documentation for. Maybe I suck at looking but just in case, here’s the steps if you need them:

  1. Update your shopify.app.toml file to include the proper scopes. You can find a list of all access scopes here.
  2. In your project terminal run the following:

    # Tell your app to use updated file
    shopify app config use
    
    # Deploy a new version which updates the app scope in your partner dashboard
    shopify app deploy
  3. Open the app in the dev store you’re running it on and accept the scope change.

Once you do this your scopes should be updated and usable. I hope someone finds this helpful!
