docs(shopify): document Protected Customer Data requirement - #527
Merged
Conversation
read_customers alone doesn't grant Customer object access — Shopify gates it behind a separate app-level Protected Customer Data approval. Add a README section with the exact error, the Partner Dashboard steps, and the option to drop read_customers from SHOPIFY_SCOPES. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Using the customer tools (
SHOPIFY_LIST_CUSTOMERS, lookups, segments, order→customer joins) fails with:even with the
read_customersscope granted. That's Shopify's Protected Customer Data gate — a separate, app-level approval independent of OAuth scopes. It's a Partner-dashboard configuration, not a code issue (the MCP already surfaces the error with a clear hint).Adds a README section covering:
read_customersfromSHOPIFY_SCOPESif customer data isn't needed.Docs-only — no code or
registry.jsonchange (the registryreadmecomes frommesh_description, notREADME.md).🤖 Generated with Claude Code
