Magento Facebook Social Login via Firebase Authentication | Log into Magento using Firebase Facebook Social Login

Firebase social login with Facebook can be easily set up with Magento Firebase Authentication extension. Enabling Facebook Social login on your Magento site will allow users to login with their Facebook account via Firebase instead of creating a separate account for the Magento store.

1. Steps to create a Facebook app:

• To get started, Go to Facebook developers console click here and sign up/Login with your facebook developer account.

• Go to the Facebook Developers apps page and click the Create App button to add new app.

• Then choose the Allow people to log in with their Facebook account option as use case and press Next.

• Enter the App Name and Add Contact Email for your Facebook app respectively then click on Create App button to save your settings.

• Go to App Settings -> Basic to view your App Id and App Secret. The App ID is your Client ID and the App Secret is your Client Secret, keep these values handy as you will need them later to configure the miniOrange Magento Firebase Authentication (Refer to the images below).
• App Domain: Write your website’s domain there.
• Privacy Policy URL: Fill in this box with the URL liked to your website’s privacy policy page.
• Terms of Service: Fill in this box with the URL linked to your website’s terms of service page.
• User Data Deletion:drop down, Select Data Deletion Instruction URL (Enter the URL of your page with the instructions on how users can delete their accounts on your site).
• Choose a category from the dropdown in the Category field and pick the App Purpose option that describes your App the best, then press Save Changes to save your configurations.

• Now scroll down and click on Add Platform button. Select the Website option as you are trying to integrate your Facebook Login with a website. Click on Next.

• Next, enter the Site URL (from your miniOrange Magento Firebase Authentication) and click Save. Then, click Continue.

• Click on the Use cases tab on the left side and then click on the Customize button that appears next to the Authentication and account creation item.

• Below the Permissions section, find the email permission and click on the Add button.

By default, your application only has Standard Access for the “public_profile” and “email” permissions, which means that only you can log in with it. To get Advanced Access you will need to go trough the Business Verification, that you can start on the Verification tab on the left side.



• Under the Facebook Login >> settings section click on Go to settings button to add the Redirect/Callback url.

• Into the Valid OAuth redirect URIs field add the Redirect/Callback URL which you will get from the miniOrange Magento Firebase Authenticatio extension. Click on Save changes button.

• Currently your app is in Development Mode which also means that people outside of your business can not use it. Once your verification is completed, click on the Go live tab and publish your app by clicking on the Go live button at the bottom right corner. Before you press it, it is recommended to check the steps listed on the “Go live” page, if you configured everything properly.

• Enable the Facebook method to configure it for sign-in as shown below.

• Enter the App ID and App secret you got from Facebook in the previous step and click on Save.
• NOTE: Here you will get the OAuth Redirect URI which you needed to configure in the facebook app in the previous step.
