A Shopify recently introduced social login for Customer Accounts, allowing customers to sign in using Google or Facebook. This approach simplifies sign-in, but it is limited; only the customer’s email is mapped, no way to customize the login page to display your brand name or design, and leaves out key features like redirection to custom pages, centralized logout, and complete store protection.
For businesses that require more flexibility and advanced login features, our miniOrange Single Sign-On (SSO) app can help. With SSO enabled, you can:
- Support multiple social login providers (Google, Facebook, LinkedIn, Apple) along with popular identity providers (IDPs) like Okta, Microsoft Entra ID (Azure), Cognito, etc.
- Perform complete profile mapping, syncing all customer attributes (not just email).
- Customize the login page by showcasing your brand name.
- Set up post-login redirects to specific pages such as collections, checkout, or a personalized landing page.
- Enable Single Logout (SLO) so customers are securely signed out from all connected systems in one action.
- Add an extra layer of security with full store protection, ensuring only authorized customers log in through your Identity Provider (IDP).
By implementing SSO on your Shopify non-Plus/Plus store, you can upgrade Shopify’s basic login flow into a customizable, branded, and secure social sign-in experience.
