## OAuth Scopes Requested & Why We Need Them

When connecting Recharge, Gale requests the minimum scopes required to enable HSA/FSA reimbursement support.

| Scope                | Why We Need It                                                                                      |
| -------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `read_orders`        | To retrieve order details, line items, and eligibility information for reimbursement.               |
| `read_subscriptions` | To identify subscription products, billing cycles, and link reimbursements to recurring orders.     |
| `read_customers`     | To match reimbursement submissions with the correct customer profile.                               |
| `write_webhooks`     | To automatically register the necessary webhooks for syncing orders and subscriptions in real-time. |
| `store_info`         | To get details about your store(e.g store Domain) etc.                                              |

> Gale **does not request write access to orders or subscriptions** — we do not modify merchant or customer data in Recharge.

***

<Note>
  Gale supports both checkout models offered by Recharge: **Recharge Checkout on Shopify (RCS)** and **Shopify Checkout Integration (SCI)**. No matter which checkout flow your store uses, Gale can connect with your Recharge setup to enable HSA/FSA reimbursement for subscription orders.
</Note>

## What Happens After Connection?

Once the integration is completed:

* Your Recharge access token is securely stored
* Gale automatically sets up system webhooks for order & subscription sync
* Your store becomes eligible for HSA/FSA reimbursement flows
