Using the client credentials grant 403 Error

Authentication & Access
1

Hi team,

I’ve been fighting with the Shopify Auth flow and docs for a while now and would some assistance. I’m simply trying to get the access_token from the the /admin/oauth/acces_token endpoint however I keep getting a 403 error saying “Your connection needs to be verified before you can proceed” returned as HTML.

My credentials are correct and I’ve checked them a few times and also uninstalled and reinstalled the app repeatedly (and also created new apps from scratch).

Hey @Emmanuel_Quarless

If you’re trying to use the client credentials grant for your partner app it won’t work. Partner apps (public or custom) must use token exchange or authorization code.

Hi Liam,

Thanks for getting back to me, I don’t believe this is a Partner app. I’ve built it in the developer hub and its only intention is for our internal shop to use

Thanks @Emmanuel_Quarless

If the app is not created from a partner account then this is the guide you should follow:
