Shopify SSO into Mobile Applications - hero Image

Why implement SSO into Shopify via Web-View Application?

SSO between Shopify and a custom mobile application improves user experience, security, and overall user account and access management. SSO allows users to access both the Shopify platform and the custom mobile application with a single set of credentials, eliminating the need for users to remember multiple sets of login credentials for different platforms. With SSO, onboarding new users becomes more efficient. Users gain immediate access to both the Shopify store and the mobile app after creating an account or logging in for the first time, streamlining the onboarding process.

Key Features

Custom Session Timeout

Single Sign-On Use Cases

Login into Shopify with an existing Custom Mobile Application Session

Do you have a custom mobile application and are looking to perform SSO using the existing session of the mobile app? When a user tries to open the Shopify store in webview and perform checkout they should be able to get logged-in to the Shopify store using the existing session of the mobile application.

Using our Shopify SSO application you can allow users whose accounts have been created in your custom mobile application to log in with the same login credentials in the Shopify store without needing to sign-in again. You can follow the details mentioned in this setup guide to configure this use case.

Secure Login into your Custom Mobile App through Shopify Store Credentials (JWT Authentication)

You can allow users to SSO into your custom mobile application using their existing Shopify store credentials by using our Shopify Store as an IDP application. There is no need to migrate user identities, and with a few simple configurations, all existing Shopify store users can be granted access to your custom mobile application.

The user must authenticate the credentials with the Shopify store only once. The store validates the credentials and sends the custom mobile app a JSON Web Token (JWT). This JSON Web Token (JWT) can be used to authenticate the user for the mobile application. Users can log into the mobile application using the existing shopify store credentials without needing to sign-in again on the mobile application. You can follow the details mentioned in this setup guide to configure this use case.

Access Shopify APIs in your Custom Mobile Application

Users will login into the app using their existing Shopify store credentials. At the same time, along with JWT token for creating a user session in the mobile app, our app will also pass the user id_token to the mobile application. Using this id_token, you can call different Shopify’s APIs in your mobile app such as fetching products, user purchase history and user profile attributes thus enhancing the usability of the custom mobile application for the end users.
