Permissions Update Jan 2025
Inline with recent changes at Shopify, Collection Merchandiser will soon require an additional access permission
- Product Inventory Location Information
What is this?
In Shopify, you can store inventory levels at several locations. In order for Collection Merchandiser to show you the inventory levels for at selected locations, we require this new access permission. This will be required no matter how many inventory locations you have.
What do I need to do?
Nothing yet. Soon you'll need to accept the new permissions when you open the app - by clicking Install (or similar) as seen on the screenshot below. This may appear slightly different for your store.
Do you require customer information access?
If you use Collection Merchandiser, you will have already accepted permissions for other parts of your store, such as analytics and customer information.
What information will you track?
Currently Collection Merchandiser tracks and saves events such as page visits, add to carts, purchases, etc. through our analytics features.
All information is anonymous. Collection Merchandiser does not access or store any personal customer information such as names, emails, IP addresses, etc.
Why do you need these other permissions?
Among others, your analytics features tracks the following events; add to carts and purchases. Shopify adds identifiable customer information to these events. For example, a purchase would include a customer email address.
Despite not using this identifiable customer information in any way, Shopify still requires Collection Merchandiser to have the above permissions in order to access and track these events.
The customer information is not accessed or saved.
I don't use certain features, do I still need to accept all permissions?
Unfortunately, Shopify doesn't allow different permission levels for apps. We are required to ask for all necessary permissions from all app users.
Do you use tracking cookies?
No, Collection Merchandiser does not make use of cookies to track customers. Once a user leaves your store, we 'forget' the user and are unable to link them to any subsequent visits (both on your site and others).
I have a question
Great, get in touch and we'll be happy to answer any and all questions.
