Request only what your app uses. The merchant sees every scope before installing, and the [scope list](/guides/scopes) says what each one opens.

## Not available

These stay with the merchant, or the store does not hold them today:

- **Refunds and marking an order as paid.** Only the merchant does these, from the dashboard.
- **Payment details.** [`GET /payments`](/api/payments-list) gives the outcome only: no amount, method or card.
- **Creating an order** on a customer's behalf.
- **Customer wallet balance**, reading or changing it.
- **VAT per order and invoice numbers.** See [Accounting and invoices](/guides/accounting).
- **A live delivery price from your server.** Delivery options have fixed prices.
- **Stock per branch.** Each product or choice has one quantity.
- **Free-text text messages.** Text messages have fixed wording. Your app can send free text through its own provider, as in [Marketing and customer messages](/guides/messaging).
