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_products	Read product and collection data to build feeds. 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.

How to check granted permissions

You can check the permissions granted to an app in Shopify admin Settings > App and sales channels > click the app > Permission details

How to grant all permissions at once

Granting missing permission when a feature is enabled could be disruptive. It might be desired to grant all permissions to the app at once. It could be done in the Information tab.
