Secure SSO + Content Restriction for Bacardi

Scenario

Bacardi has an online Shopify store for its premium users. The details of these users are stored within an identity provider (IdP). They were looking to simplify the login process on its online store for its premium users. They wanted to limit the purchase of its products by each user in line with government regulations. This restriction would be based on the quantity of products purchased and the amount allowed to be spent on each purchase per week or month by a user. They also wanted to offer their premium users the option to add Gift cards to the chart during checkout for promotional purposes.

Challenges

• Bacardi faced certain issues with its conventional login process, which required its premium customers to navigate through several steps, such as manually entering usernames and passwords. This led to delays in access to the online store and hindered the overall user experience.
• No cap on online purchases raised concerns for Bacardi regarding potential legal issues, particularly the risk of individuals exceeding government-regulated limits on certain products.
• Bacardi wanted customers to use gift cards on its Shopify store to purchase approved products. Additionally, they planned to send gift cards to selected or all employees quarterly.
• Lastly, Bacardi recognized the need to provide a more user-friendly and secure authentication experience.

miniOrange Solution

To tackle these challenges, miniOrange proposed a few solutions. Let’s look into them in detail.

1. Single Sign-On (SSO)

Bacardi deployed the Shopify SSO solution to impose stringent regulatory compliance and identity verification procedures, protecting the integrity of data and access to sensitive government-regulated products. This streamlined access management reduced the risk of unauthorized entry and ensured a more secure environment for handling and distributing regulated products according to governmental standards.

2. Content Restriction

Adding the Content Restriction application to the Bacardi Shopify store lets them control who can see certain product information or categories, making sure they follow government rules. They can manage who can view, buy, or access sensitive product details to stay compliant and prevent unauthorized use. Bacardi can also set monthly and yearly limits on how much customers can spend and how many products they can buy. Plus, employees can see and purchase products at discounted prices based on tags, while regular visitors won't see these discounts.

3. Avail Gift Cards

Bacardi used the Gift Card feature on its Shopify store to allow customers to redeem the card for approved products, providing a secure and traceable method of acquiring regulated goods within the legal framework. Integrating gift cards enabled both regulatory compliance and convenient, controlled access to government-regulated products on the Shopify platform.

Result

The implementation of the miniOrange applications on the Shopify store resulted in significant improvements in the end-user experience and met company requirements in the following ways:

• Easy login process with IDP
• Restricting product purchase based on government regulation
• Decreased login fatigue
• Ability to add Gift cards at checkout
• Increased User Engagement
• Enhanced Security
