Why should merchants review app permissions carefully?

Merchants should review app permissions carefully to understand what data and store resources an app can access before installing it.

This helps merchants:

• Protect customer and business data.
• Avoid granting unnecessary access.
• Understand what the app can view, create, or modify.
• Reduce privacy and security risks.
• Ensure the app’s permissions match its intended purpose.
• Make better decisions about which third-party apps to trust.

In short, merchants should follow the principle of least privilege: give an app only the access it needs to perform its intended function.
