Social login on mobile app

Retired Boards Appdev Custom Storefronts

Topic summary

A developer is building a mobile app using Shopify’s SDK and needs to implement social login functionality (e.g., Facebook, Google). They’ve discovered that Shopify’s native social login is only available as an external app, but haven’t found documentation on how to integrate external app calls from the SDK.

Responses received:

  • One reply offers agency services for custom Shopify app development
  • Another suggests using a free third-party social login app (Hook One Tap Login) and requesting API documentation from the provider to integrate with the mobile app

Current status: The question remains open with no definitive technical solution provided yet. The core challenge is bridging Shopify’s external social login apps with a custom mobile SDK implementation.

Hi, we are planning to develop a mobile app for our client, based on the SDK.

The customer request is to be able to register/login by social from the mobile app.

We understood that Spotify login by social is only available as an external app but we didn’t find documentation on how to implement external app calls from the SDK

Thanks in advance
