# Storefront Subscriptions

Manage newsletter and marketing email subscriptions on BigCommerce-hosted storefronts. To work with headless storefronts, use the [GraphQL Storefront API](/developer/docs/storefront/guides/graphql-storefront-api/overview).

The REST Storefront API uses [CORS](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS) headers for authentication, and therefore has no required scopes. You do not need to send any BigCommerce-specific tokens with your requests to these endpoints.

For info about authenticating BigCommerce APIs, see [Authentication and Example Requests](/developer/docs/overview/api-fundamentals/api-accounts#same-origin-cors-authentication).
