(App development) "Access denied for subscriptionContracts field" in custom app

Hi everyone,

I have granted my custom app all availableAdmin API access scopes and Storefront API access scopes. However, I’m still getting the following error when using the “subscriptionContracts” query:
“Access denied for subscriptionContracts field.”

Can anyone tell me where I can grant my app the necessary permissions for this field?

I am using 2025-01 API version.

Thank you in advance!

It looks like this would require the read_own_subscription_contracts or write_own_subscription_contracts scope, which need to be requested from your partner dashboard:


See our docs on this here: Shopify API access scopes

Hi Liam,

thank you for your help. The App is currently “inside” of the shop, created under “develop apps”, because it will be used only for one specific store. Where do i find the “read_own_subscription_contracts” scope there?

I’d recommend reaching out to support directly, via the help centre here to get this scope enabled for this admin-created custom app. If you have any problems with support please come back here and post the support ID and I’ll look into this for you.
