# Reply to a comment

> Post a reply to a storefront comment. Requires the WRITE_COMMENTS scope.

Posts a reply to the parent comment identified by `{id}`, which must be scoped to your store. The store is bound to your app token server-side — never send a shop id.

  title: Salesive Apps API — Productivity
  version: 1.0.0
  description: >-
    Manage the store's productivity resources from an installed third-party app:
    tasks (with recurrence and per-occurrence responses), notes, custom
    storefront scripts/tracking, and storefront comment replies. Every endpoint
    authenticates with an installed-app access token (prefix `app_`) and
    requires a specific OAuth scope. The target store is bound to the token
    server-side from the installation — never send a shop id.

      description: >-
        Posts a reply to a storefront comment. The path `{id}` is the parent
        comment's id, which must be scoped to the app's store. Authenticate with
        `Authorization: Bearer app_<token>`. Returns 404 if the parent comment
        does not exist or does not belong to the installation's store. Requires
        the `WRITE_COMMENTS` scope and returns 403 if missing. The store is
        bound to the app token server-side from the installation — never send a
        shop id.
