Can I use email-password, SSO, phone OTP or social login instead of email OTP on Shopify Plus?

Yes. This is possible using the miniOrange Shopify Customer Accounts Login application on the Shopify App Store. You can use login alternatives to email OTP such as email-password login, Single Sign-On (SSO), and social login on Shopify Plus. By default, Shopify's customer accounts only support email OTP login. Customers sign in using their email address and verify a one-time code. While this may work for basic use cases, it may not be ideal for all businesses.

Buyers often need more flexible login options. For example, organizations may require SSO with their centralized identity provider (IdP) for secure access, while other users may prefer email-password login or social login for a faster and more convenient sign-in experience.

Different customer types have different needs:

  • Retailers – Would prefer OTP or social login
  • Buyers – Often expect corporate credentials (Okta, Entra ID, Auth0 etc.) or shared password when multiple employees access the same company account

If everyone has to wait for an email code, that can slow down operations and create friction.
