The Authentications groups all settings related to how users log in or verify their identity on your store. Since login methods are part of the authentication process, this is the most accurate and organized place for these features.

OAuth

OAuth is a secure authentication method that allows users to sign in to an application using an existing account from a trusted provider, such as Google, without sharing their password with the application.

Google OAuth (Sign in with Google)

When a user chooses “Sign in with Google”:

• Google verifies the user’s identity
• The platform receives confirmation from Google
• No Google password is ever shared with the store or platform

This makes login both safer and simpler.

Why enable Google OAuth?

Enabling Google sign-in helps both customers and store owners:

For customers

• Faster login with one click
• No need to remember another password
• Fewer login and signup failures

For store owners

• Higher signup and login conversion rates
• Reduced support requests for password resets
• Improved account security

Because of these benefits, Google OAuth is often preferred over traditional email-and-password login.

Google OAuth Support on the Platform

The platform supports Google OAuth only (Sign in with Google).

To enable this feature, the store owner must configure their own Google OAuth credentials. The platform does not create or manage these credentials on behalf of the store.

How it works

1. You create a Google OAuth project in the Google Cloud Console.
2. Google provides you with:
• Client ID
• Client Secret
3. You enter these values in the admin panel under OAuth settings.
4. Enable the feature using the status toggle.
5. “Sign in with Google” becomes available on your storefront.

Important notes

• Each store must use its own Google OAuth credentials.
• If the client ID or secret is incorrect or revoked, Google login will stop working.
• OAuth project creation and management must be handled in Google’s developer console.
• The platform only facilitates the authentication flow after Google validates the user.
