Step by Step Guide to Implement Gitlab Social Login to your Shopify Store | Gitlab SSO

Gitlab Login for Shopify
Gitlab is a complete DevOps platform that enables professionals to perform all the tasks in a project from project planning and source code management to monitoring and security. In addition, it allows teams to collaborate and build better software.

What is Social Login?
Social Login allows users to connect to any website using various networking platforms such as Facebook, Google, or Twitter. It is a form of single sign-on for users designed and implemented to make logging in easier for end-users. Using social login users can sign into any third-party website without having to create an account.

How does Social Login Works?
The social login process is extremely simple. Users come to your website and select whichever social login provider they want to login. They fill in their details on the social network provider’s site. Once the authentication process is completed by the social provider the user can start using your Shopify website. If they are a new user then they are registered and if they are an existing user they are logged in.

Shopify Gitlab Social Login (Gitlab Single Sign-On (SSO)) for Shopify Store can be achieved by using our Shopify Social Login Application.
