What if I can’t see “Request access”?
Ensure you’re in a Partner account (not a merchant admin). Also check that the store uses a myshopify.com URL and that the code is current.

Can I change permissions later?
Yes—submit an additional request for the extra scopes, or have the client adjust after approval.
