My AI assistant says Section Store needs permission

Some features need extra Shopify access that only you can grant. Your assistant can't accept it for you. Open the page in the app, click Review access scopes and approve in Shopify. You do this once. Then ask your assistant again.

Which message did you get?

"Section Store needs the merchant's permission to manage discounts and products before it can change bundles."

Product search needs this too.

1. In Shopify admin, open Apps → Section Store → Bundles. The assistant gives you a link.
2. Click Add bundle. Permission required opens.
3. Click Review access scopes.
4. Approve the request in Shopify.

"Section Store needs the merchant's permission to manage discounts, markets and shipping before it can change the cart drawer."

1. In Shopify admin, open Apps → Section Store → Cart Drawer. The assistant gives you a link.
2. Click Create cart drawer. Permission required opens.
3. Click Review access scopes.
4. Approve the request in Shopify.

"Section Store needs the merchant's permission for A/B test analytics before a test can start."

1. In Shopify admin, open Apps → Section Store → Bundles or Cart Drawer, then click A/B Tests.
2. Open your test. Permission required opens.
3. Click Review access scopes.
4. Approve the request in Shopify.

What these permissions do

• Bundles: "To support bundle blocks, we'll request access to certain Shopify scopes. We only use this access to power the feature, nothing more."
• Cart drawer: we ask for shipping, market, product and file access. Shipping and market access are read-only.
• A/B tests: we connect Shopify's privacy-aware analytics pixel and read paid-order events. We use anonymous storefront activity and order totals only. We don't collect customer names, emails or addresses.

These permissions belong to Section Store. They don't give your assistant access to that data. Your assistant only gets what our tools return.

After you accept

Ask your assistant to try again. You don't need to reconnect it.

If it doesn't work

• "Access wasn't granted. This permission is required to continue.": you declined in Shopify. Start the steps again.
• "We couldn't verify permissions. Please try again.": refresh the page and try again.
• "This feature's permissions are temporarily unavailable. Please contact support.": open the chat bubble in the Section Store app or email [email protected].
