Troubleshooting
- "Unauthorized" or "Forbidden" error: Verify that your Recharge plan includes API access (Pro plan or higher). Standard plans do not support API tokens.
- Missing data categories: Ensure you enabled Read scopes for Customers, Subscriptions, Orders, and Charges when creating the token.
- "API tokens" option not visible: Only Store Owners and Admins can see this section. Contact your Recharge account owner for access.
- Token not working after creation: Double-check that you created an Admin API Token, not a standard API token, which has limited access.
