Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

More FAQs ➔

Do learners need a separate LearnWorlds password?

No. Learners can authenticate through the configured Shopify SSO flow using their Shopify account credentials. They do not need to enter a separate LearnWorlds password for that login process. Whether the standard LearnWorlds login remains available depends on your school's authentication settings.

Does SSO enroll learners in courses?

No. SAML SSO authenticates learners and provides access to their LearnWorlds accounts. It does not automatically enroll them in individual courses. Course enrollment and access permissions must be managed separately in LearnWorlds.

Can I use SSO with the LearnWorlds Shopify integration?

Yes. This guide explains how to configure SAML SSO between Shopify and LearnWorlds. However, SSO and LearnWorlds' Shopify payment gateway integration serve different purposes. SSO manages authentication, while the payment gateway integration connects Shopify with LearnWorlds for payment processing and product synchronization. Configure each integration according to its intended use.

Which LearnWorlds plan supports SAML SSO?

SAML SSO availability depends on your LearnWorlds subscription and the authentication options available in your school's admin settings. Check your current plan's entitlements before starting the configuration. If the SAML option is unavailable, contact LearnWorlds support to confirm whether your subscription includes it.
