I get the following error in Postman when using the template url below.
Your connection needs to be verified before you can proceed.
Hey @Mark_Kodak thanks for reaching out. I can’t say for sure without the full output (if you have an X-Request-ID header from an example error, that would be great!), but it looks like a couple things may be going on here. Usually, a token request should be a POST to https://{shop}.myshopify.com/admin/oauth/access_token with oauth in the path, and the client_id, client_secret, and grant_type=client_credentials values should be sent as x-www-form-urlencoded body params, not as query params in the URL. More info here:
Client credentials also only work for apps developed by your own organization and
installed on stores you own, so if this is a partner/public/custom app for another merchant, the correct flow is token exchange or authorization code instead. The “Your connection needs to be verified before you can proceed” response makes it look like the request may be getting challenged before it reaches the OAuth endpoint, so if the app is installed and scopes are configured, I’d double-check the Postman request shape first and then include the
response headers / request ID in the thread.
Hope this helps, let me know if I can clarify anything more on our end here.
Thank you Alan, I will read through this.
