Managing access scopes in Shopify Remix is a critical aspect of maintaining a secure and functional e-commerce platform. Access scopes determine what parts of a store’s data an app can access, ensuring that sensitive information is protected and only the necessary data is shared with third-party applications.
This blog will guide you through the steps to effectively manage access scopes in your Shopify Remix app.

Access scopes are permissions that define the level of access an app has to a Shopify store’s data. When you install a Shopify app, you grant it specific access scopes, which dictate what data the app can read, write, or modify. These scopes help in safeguarding the store’s data by ensuring apps only have access to what is necessary for their functionality.
The .env file in your project directory is where you define environment variables. To add a new access scope, follow these steps:
SCOPES=write_products
Here, write_products is the scope you’re adding. You can add multiple scopes separated by commas, like so:
SCOPES=write_products,read_orders
The shopify.app.toml file is used to configure your Shopify app. To add the new scope:
scopes = "write_products"
For multiple scopes, separate them with a commas:
scopes = "write_products ,read_orders"
To apply your changes, you need to deploy the updated configuration:
npm run deploy
This command will update your app’s configuration with the new access scopes.
Updating access scopes involves modifying the scopes in both the `.env` and shopify.app.toml files, then redeploying the configuration.
SCOPES=write_products,read_orders,read_locales
scopes = "write_products,read_orders,read_locales"
npm run deploy
Removing access scopes is similar to adding or updating them, but you’ll delete the unwanted scopes from the .env and shopify.app.toml files.
SCOPES=write_products
scopes = "write_products"
npm run deploy
Managing access scopes in your Shopify Remix project is straightforward once you know where to make the changes. By updating the `.env` and `shopify.app.toml` files and deploying the configuration, you can easily add, update, or remove scopes to fit your application’s needs. This ensures that your app has the necessary permissions to interact with Shopify securely and efficiently.
