What permissions does Section Store ask for?
Which Shopify permissions the app needs, which feature needs each one, and what the Permission Required window means.
Section Store needs access to your themes to install. Everything else is optional. Shopify asks the first time you use a feature that needs more. You see a Permission Required window, and click Review Access Scopes to approve.
At install
- Read and write themes. We add sections and blocks to your theme.

About A/B test data
We use anonymous storefront activity and order totals only. We don't collect customer names, emails or addresses.
If you decline
The feature won't run. You see "Access wasn't granted. This permission is required to continue." Open the feature again to get the same window.
Everything else keeps working. Declining one permission doesn't affect other features.
If it doesn't work
- "We couldn't verify permissions. Please try again." Reload the page and try again.
- "This feature's permissions are temporarily unavailable. Please contact support." Open the chat bubble in the app or email [email protected].
- The window keeps coming back. Your Shopify account may not be allowed to approve it. Ask the store owner to open the app and approve.
App permissions and collaborator access are different
App permissions let the app work. Collaborator access lets our team log in to help you. See Extend our collaborator access to your store.
