SAML Single Sign-On (SSO) For Shopify Using Keycloak as Identity Provider

miniOrange allows Keycloak to act as an IDP (Identity Provider), which allows users to Single Sign-On (SSO) into Shopify using Keycloak Credentials. Our application is compatible with all the SAML / OAuth-compliant Identity Providers. We will go through a step-by-step guide to configure Single Sign-On (SSO) into Shopify using Keycloak as IdP (Identity Provider) and Shopify store as SP (Service Provider).

To configure SSO into Shopify with Keycloak as IDP (SAML), you will need to install the miniOrange Shopify Single Sign On - SSO Login Application on your store.
