FAQ
Common questions
What scopes are available?
Read/write per resource: orders, products, customers, inventory, locations, marketing, settings. Apps request scopes; merchants approve at install.
Are there rate limits?
Yes — per-token rate limits scale with the merchant's plan. Generous defaults; contact us for higher quotas.
