What are the access scopes that the app requires and how they are used?

To perform its jobs, the app need to access your data in Shopify on behalf of your store. To be able to do this, it requires some access scopes (or permissions).

The app strives to request the minimum access to function, therefore the access are divided into mandatory scopes, granted at time of app installation, and optional scopes, granted to enable features or enhanced app usage.

Mandatory access scopes

These scopes are granted at app installation because they are required for the app to perform basic operations.

Write to product metafields to store product level feed settings Add tag, _wf_cus, to "mark" products as having product level settings Add tag, _wf_exc, to "mark" products as excluded from feeds (You might want to exclude these tags from showing on your theme if needed)
read_locales	Read locales data to see what languages a shop support via Shopify language API.
read_translations	Read product data translations via Shopify language API to build foreign language feeds.
