View Personal Data

• Customers (name, email, phone, address, geolocation, IP, browser, OS)
  → Required to match claims with the right customer and send claim updates via email or SMS.

• Store Owner (name, email, phone, address)
  → Used to verify your account, send app-related notices, and provide support if needed.

View and Edit Store Data

• View Customers
  → Allows ShipGuard to display claim details and link them with the correct customer.

• Edit Products
  → Enables ShipGuard to add protection plans as products and manage exclusions (e.g., digital or non-covered items).

• Edit Orders
  → Required to process claims by issuing refunds, creating reorders, and tracking protection purchases.

• Edit Your Online Store (Theme)
  → Allows ShipGuard to display the protection widget in your cart and checkout.

• View Other Data (Locations)
  → Used for geo-targeting, so protection is only offered in supported regions.

Step 4: Confirm Installation

Once you approve the permissions, ShipGuard will be installed. You’ll be redirected to the App Setup Guide inside ShipGuard to finish configuring protection plans and checkout display.

✅ That’s it — ShipGuard is now installed!
