Description
This is just to ask if this template already supports this?:
https://shopify.dev/changelog/expiring-offline-access-tokens-required-for-public-apps-april-1-2026
And if yes, could we have:
- A little bit of background on how it works in this template?
- What Gotchas could be around it and considerations/suggestions on how to handle edge-cases.
- Should we have additional services/jobs running to run refreshing jobs?
I'm basically trying to understand how to piece together this requirement before is too late for the January 2027 deadline and making sure I understand it completely.
Related to some concerns raised in:

Thanks so much 🙏🏻
