Shopify now includes social login via Google and Facebook | How to set it up

The customer account login experience on Shopify has improved significantly.

With previous customer accounts, logging in to external services required apps or custom development, and new customer accounts also did not support logging in to external services.

For new customer accounts, in addition to the previous "email address + one-time code" option, social login via Google or Facebook is now offered as a standard feature .

In this article, we will explain how to implement the Google Login feature on Shopify and what to be aware of when doing so .
