Pre-requisite: Shopify Single Sign-On - SSO Application

To configure SSO into Shopify with FusionAuth as IDP, you will need to install the miniOrange Shopify Single Sign On - SSO Login application on your store.

Configuration Steps

Setup guide for Configuring FusionAuth as IDP for SSO into Shopify

Step 1: Get the OAuth Callback URL from the Shopify SSO App

• Go to your Shopify store and navigate to the App section and click on Single Sign On - SSO login application.

• Click on the Add Identity Provider button to add your IDP.

• Select OAuth 2.0 protocol.

• Now choose Custom IDP from the list of IDPs.

• Copy the OAuth Callback URL and keep it handy as it will be used in further steps.

Step 2: Configuring Shopify as a Service Provider (SP) in FusionAuth

• Log in to your FusionAuth account.

• Navigate to the Applications tab on the FusionAuth dashboard and then click the Green plus button to add a new application.

• You must give your application a name on the Application Creation page. This is done so that your application can be distinguished in the dashboard. Provide an appropriate name for your application.

• Now select the OAuth tab. The default settings should be fine; the only thing you need to change is the Authorised redirect URLs section. Paste the OAuth Callback URL you copied in Step 1.

• Please keep in mind that FusionAuth will only provide login functionality by default, and you will have to manually create new users via the admin panel. This is useful if you're creating an internal site and don't want users to register. However, if you're creating a store, you'll probably want users to be able to create an account, so let's enable that. Enable self-service registration by clicking the Registration tab. The default settings should be adequate.

• Click the blue Save button in the upper-right corner of the page.

• You will now be shown a list of your applications. Click the Green looking glass icon next to the newly created application.
