WooCommerce SSO Login | WordPress WooCommerce Integration


WooCommerce is an open-source and customizable ecommerce WordPress plugin that can be utilized to build an online presence for your business in a few minutes. With the online construction of your business platform, comes the requirement of users storing their information and providing users with a secure way to log into your site.
With Single Sign-On activated on the WordPress site, the users will be spared of the tedious procedure of registration as well as providing profile details such as Name, E-mail address, Address and so on while checking out. In addition to effortless transactions for the users, site management also becomes easier for the site administrator by allowing tracking of the user details. The admin can even assign users to various groups on the basis of the product they purchase and provide suggestions for similar products.

miniOrange WordPress SAML SSO Plugin enables seamless SSO login into your WordPress sites via authentication through any SAML 2.0 compliant Identity Provider. Once you authenticate or login via your Identity Provider, you also log into your WordPress sites without manually having to re-enter your credentials. The plugin allows your Woocommerce site to act as a SAML SP (Service Provider) which can be configured to establish trust between your site and IdP to securely authenticate and enable SSO / Login for the user into the Woocommerce site. The added advantage of SSO is that your credentials are stored in your Identity Provider and nowhere else, which adds another layer of security to your credentials.
miniOrange WordPress SAML SSO Plugin supports SSO setup with all major SAML compliant IDPs like AzureAD, Okta, AzureB2C, ADFS, Keycloak, GoogleApps and many more.
