Starting with Admin API 2023-04, if an App Store app needs Asset API access to create, edit or delete a theme’s asset, it will require Shopify-granted and merchant-granted access scope.
If your app falls into one of the following categories, you might be eligible for an exemption.
1) Page builders: Adds or replaces all layout and template files. Will be granted for apps that offer the ability to create alternative templates for all pages. This exemption will NOT be granted to apps that modify only a few pages (i.e. forms, wishlist pages, pre-order pages etc.). This functionality can be achieved with theme app embeds or theme app blocks.
2) Backups: Creates and restores backups of theme files as the primary app functionality.
For all other use cases, please check out our recommended integration method, Theme App Extensions, and other integration methods.
Upon submitting your request, our App Review Specialists will review your submission and be in touch with you within 14 days. Please note that exemption is not granted immediately upon submitting this form.
