Reconnect a destination store to grant changed Shopify permissions without creating a new store entry.

## When to reconnect [#when-to-reconnect]

Reconnect after changing your Shopify app permissions, when CopyHero reports limited Shopify permissions, or when the Shopify authorization needs to be refreshed.

## Reconnect the store [#reconnect-the-store]

1. Open **Destination Stores** and select the store.
2. When CopyHero shows **Limited Shopify permissions**, select **Open Shopify app** if available.
3. Add and save the scopes displayed by CopyHero in the Shopify app.
4. Return to CopyHero and select **Reconnect store**.
5. Complete the Shopify authorization screen.

## If CopyHero asks for credentials [#if-copyhero-asks-for-credentials]

For a custom Shopify app whose saved secret cannot be used, CopyHero opens **Reconnect Store** with the shop and **Client ID** prefilled. Re-enter the app’s **Client Secret**, then finish the install flow. Keep that secret private.

## Expected result [#expected-result]

The existing destination store remains available with its refreshed authorization. If the alert concerned description-image hosting, the new permission allows CopyHero to host those images on Shopify’s CDN.
